So far this year, 223 people have died in traffic accidents in the city, including 161 men, 3 women, 23 boys, and 9 girls.

In addition, over 21,000 people have been injured, among them 1,764 men, 363 women, 90 boys, and 33 girls.

Seventy-five people have died in incidents involving heavy traffic.

Collisions with large vehicles have been particularly deadly: four people died in a crash with a dumper, 36 with a trailer, and 20 with a water tanker.

Seven people were run over by a Mazda and eight by buses.

Authorities’ safety measures, including CCTV cameras, the Safe City system, e-challans, and other electronic measures, have so far failed to curb the deadly accidents.
