New Delhi: 20 children are killed in road accidents every day, a BJP member said in Lok Sabha on Friday, making a strong pitch for a comprehensive law to make roads a safer place and to eliminate the 'silent killer'.

He said that the deaths were 'alarming', given the fact that they were 300 per cent more than all crimes against children put together.
