Haryana loses 5,000 people every year due to road accidents. It has some of the worst-performing districts, with nearly two to three deaths every day on account of road accidents. Road safety is clearly a serious concern.
To address this concern, we planned the "Saving Lives Through Safer Roads" programme in partnership with the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) and National Highway Authority of India. As part of this initiative, pedestrian crossovers are being planned on multi-lane high-traffic and high-speed public roads to ensure safe passage for pedestrians.
In collaboration with the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), pedestrian walkways and cycle tracks have been developed in Gurugram. Currently, projects like the Foot-Over-Bridge at Raghvendra Marg, connecting Chakarpur with Sikanderpur, are under construction. Additionally, a subway at Shankar Chowk on NH-48 is underway to provide a safe passage between Udyog Vihar and the Moulsari Avenue Metro Station. This initiative will help reduce road accidents.
