Delhi has witnessed a slight decrease in road accident fatalities during the first five months of this year, according to data released by the Delhi Police.

The data indicates that as of May 15, a total of 518 people lost their lives in 511 accidents. This represents a reduction compared to the 552 deaths recorded in 544 crashes during the same period last year.

“We have identified various locations such as National Highway-24, NH-8, Ring Road, Rohtak Road, GT Road, and Mathura Road as among the top ten roads in Delhi with the highest number of fatal crashes so far this year. With this information, we can implement targeted enforcement measures to enhance road safety and ensure compliance with traffic regulations, ultimately aiming to reduce fatalities on these roads,” stated a senior police officer.

The police further emphasized that in addition to law enforcement measures, the Delhi Traffic Police has prioritized community engagement and collaboration to promote a culture of road safety.

“Several educational programs in partnership with schools and colleges, along with awareness campaigns such as Raahgiri, are being conducted regularly to educate people about road safety norms and safe driving practices,” the officer added.
