NEW DELHI: Former Mistry was travelling with three family friends: noted gynaecologist Dr. Anahita Pandole, her husband Darius Pandole and Jehangir Pandole, the brother of Darius. Anahita was reportedly speeding while driving the Mercedes when it crashed into a divider on a bridge on the Surya river at Charoti Naka in Palghar, 120 km from Mumbai. Several motorists have complained that the design of the road, lack of proper signages and poor traffic discipline has made the particular highway a hotspot for accidents. Similar complaints are heard about countless other accident-prone stretches across India. India has most fatal road accidents According to data by SaveLife Foundation, India's road crash severity in 2021 was 38.6 (deaths per 100 crashes), up from 37.5 in 2020. The crash severity indicates the risk of road crash fatality. The higher the crash severity, the higher is the risk of death in a road crash. As per available data, in 2016, India ranked first among the top 20 countries for road crashes with crash severity of 31.4, followed by China (29.64). Over 4 lakh road accidents in 2021 According to data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), a total of 4,03,116 road accident cases were reported in 2021, up from 3,54,796 in 2020.

Deaths by accidents on roads increased by almost 17 per cent in 2021 compared to 2020, indicating an increase in the rate of deaths per 1,000 vehicles in India, according to the latest NCRB report. In 2021, 1.55 lakh people died in accidents on Indian roads, up from 1.33 lakh in 2020, when much of the year saw a nationwide lockdown. Total road accidents reported was 4.03 lakh in 2021, up from 3.54 lakh the year before. But the 2021 accident numbers were significantly lower than those in 2019, when 4.37 lakh mishaps had been recorded, killing 1.54 lakh people. As in previous years, two-wheelers accounted for most deaths (44.5%). Buses accounted for 3% of deaths in accidents.

It is safe to say that technology has always been at the forefront of automotive development. There has been a focus on measures that would make travelling safer for the masses in the last couple of years. The government and manufacturers are making efforts to create vehicles that are safer to operate and reduce the number of casualties on roads. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) used to be a feature that was seen on premium two-wheelers but is now available in even 150cc motorcycles. Homegrown carmakers are scoring top marks in crash testing and in the last few years, the mandate for airbags has gone from one to two to now six. However, after all these endeavours, the number of casualties on the road does not seem to be going down. In fact, it was much higher in the year 2021 than before. According to a report released by the National Crime Records Bureau, the number of traffic-related accidents in 2021 has risen by 14.6 per cent to 4,22,659. A major contributor to this figure was road accidents which amounted to 4,03,116. This figure itself has seen a rise of 13.6 per cent compared to the previous year. These road accidents took 1,55,622 lives while 3,71,884 people were left injured. The fatality rate is the highest in the last five years. A staggering 44.5 per cent of the deaths involved two-wheelers which are a common mode of transportation in India. Due to the high amount of traffic on roads and lower costs of procurement and running, two-wheeler sales in India are much ...

The three-train collision in Odisha that left 275 dead and 803 injured is being seen as one of the worst accidents in independent India's rail history, and has brought focus back on the lack of safety at the national transporter. Despite record budgetary allocations for infrastructure upgrade and safety, consequential rail accidents increased by 37 per cent in 2022-2023. Many of these accidents involved goods trains, with most not reporting casualties. According to senior officials, a train accident is considered consequential in one or more of the three scenarios -- total communications failure for over three hours after the accident (partial failure for six hours), value of damages over Rs 2 crore (Rs 20 million), and loss of life. The data was shown in an official safety review meeting conducted by the ministry of railways in April, the record of which was released to all railway zones on May 8. In the meeting, CEO and Chairman of Railway Board Anil Lahoti had flagged the rise in consequential accidents as a 'matter of grave concern', according to the minutes. There were 48 consequential train accidents in FY23, as compared to 35 in the previous fiscal year, besides an alarming 35 incidents of signal passed at danger (SPAD). There were 162 non-consequential train accidents last fiscal, as compared to 208 in FY22. Poor rolling stock maintenance, lack of pointsmen, and long working hours of crew in several railway zones were found to be key factors leading to the increase...

Globally, injuries are the leading cause of premature deaths and disability and account for nearly 9 per cent of total deaths worldwide. Like other countries, India also faces a very high burden of injuries, with the second most common cause of death and disability. Annually, 0.15 million people lose their lives due to accidental injuries/road traffic accidents in India, which is 11 per cent of the accident-related death worldwide. This study aims to analyse the socio-economic and demographic differentials in the magnitude of economic burden and coping strategies associated with accidental injuries in India. The study used the nationally representative cross-sectional data on the ‘Key Indicators of Social Consumption in India: Health, (2017–18)’ of the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO). Simple descriptive statistics have been used to measure the incidence and intensity of accidental injuries. The economic burden is estimated through out-of-pocket (OOP) health expenditure on accidental injuries and the use of different sources of finance to cope with the same. In addition, the logistic regression analysis has been used to analyse the ass...
