Are these roads or death net? The government report opened the scary truth that will give your soul shake

Every year we celebrate Road Safety Week, talk of traffic rules and promises to be safe. But the result? The result is very creepy.

Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH) has recently released its latest report on road accidents in India, and this is not a simple report. This is a mirror of the roads of our country, in which blood stains and pain of desolate families are visible everywhere. The figures are so frightening that we make it think whether we are really traveling on the streets, or in the trap of death.

Statistics that will make you sleep

These are not just numbers, this is the story of those lives that ended in the blink of an eye. Last year, in our country:

• More than 4.5 lakh road accidents Did
• About 1.70 lakh people lost their lives,
• More than 4.5 lakh people He was seriously injured.

Now understand it in this way, which will scare you even more:

• Every hour, On our streets 19 people Are being killed.
• Every 3 minutes, An Indian road is losing his life in the accident.

By the time you read this news completely, two more families may have been destroyed.

Who is the biggest ‘villain’ on the roads?

According to the report, the biggest reason for these accidents is none other than we are ourselves.

• Fast speed havoc: Most of the deadly accidents occurred due to over-speeding.
• Walking on the wrong side: The habit of taking shortcuts is overshadowing the lives.
• Use of mobile phones: Talking or messaging on the phone while driving is giving direct invitation to death.
• drunk driving: Drinking alcohol has also been a major cause of accidents.

Know the most, who are going?

The most painful aspect of this report is that the largest number of people who died in road accidents are bikes and scooters. A small lapse and the negligence of not wearing a helmet is immersing the families who are laughing and playing forever.

This report is not for the government, it is a warning for all of us. Next time you lazy in wearing helmets, or forget to apply a seat belt, you will definitely remember these 1.70 lakh faces. Perhaps a small precaution of yours avoids someone from being orphan.
