Odisha, which had consistently failed to curb road accident fatalities despite Supreme Court-appointed committee’s regular instructions on the matter, reported first negative growth in accidental deaths.
“There has been a decline in accidents and fatalities in the first two months of this year. January and February have always been months of higher accidents. The decline is by 15.34% in accidents and 10.33% in fatalities during two months of January and February, 2022, compared to the same period of previous year,” said State Commerce and Transport Secretary Bishnupada Sethi.
