Other top roads to death include the road connecting Dewas Naka Panchavati and Rajpal (42 deaths), Asharam Bapu to Bypass naka (39 deaths), Pipaliyahana to Teen Imli (36 deaths) and Asharam Bapu to Rajiv Chowk (34 deaths).
Indore has already bagged the dubious distinction of being the leading city as far as deaths in road accidents are considered, as per a recent National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) report.
As per the research by Save Lifecycle, an NGO working to create awareness to check number of road accidents, 433 people have lost their lives in 2010 while the death toll was up at 689 in 2011. The research found out that 414 people have lost their lives so far in 2012, an alarming number given the fact that the year still has four months to end.
Talking to ToI, Save Lifecycle director Prafulla Joshi who compiled the research work, said that the data could help the administration as well as the citizens to reduce the death toll.
Joshi attributes the high number of accidents on the spots to high speed driving. He underlined the need to create awareness about proper driving. In the report he has claimed that violation of traffic rules, speed and other issues as well as unawareness of traffic rules have played pertinent role in worsening the condition.
