Urban Hazards- Accidental Deaths & Motor accidents

A friend once told me that Motor accidents kill more people in a year than Terrorists or Insurgents   do. I, like the others present there, laughed at his fancies of his abstract mathematical calculations - until I read this staggering fact about our own state. In 2014 there was 7,825 Traffic accident cases in Assam which claimed the lives of 3,212 persons and injured another 6,562 people. And this too when Assam's share in the total accidental deaths nationwide was just 1.3% (in 2014) !!!

In the following articles (both are editorials) data on Accidental deaths, as revealed by the latest National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) reports are analysed (5 August 2015) and the other article dwells on another aspect of ever increasing legalities in Motor Accidents in Assam, and the lacunae of proper judicio-legal apparatus in tackling the case in an expeditious manner. This is a very crucial aspect, because if the guilty are not punished- they remain a potential death threat for countless more citizens for the future.
