Fresh data released by the transport department, regarding road accidents in the first four months of the last three years, has revealed that the number of accidents and deaths has reduced in congested Mumbai and its suburbs. However, the number of accidents and injuries caused is increasing in the adjoining cities of Thane, Navi Mumbai and Mira-Bhayander Vasai-Virar. Experts say rash driving and lack of discipline are among the main reasons for the rise.
The statistics also revealed that the number of deaths caused statewide due to accidents has come down in the first four months of 2023, following the Regional Transport Office’s (RTO) scientific approach in gathering taluka-wise accident data and enforcing road safety measures along with its ongoing six-month safety campaign.
