Where are people dying on Telangana’s roads, at what time are crashes recurring, and is a flaw in the road itself contributing to them? With a ‘Zero Fatalities’ goal, authorities have been asked to answer these questions for seven high-accident districts as the State draws up a targeted plan to bring down road deaths.

The exercise has already narrowed the problem down considerably, said DGP C.V. Anand on Wednesday. Across Medchal-Malkajgiri, Ranga Reddy, Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, Sangareddy, Hanamkonda, Warangal and Jangaon, 48 critical accident corridors, 230 ‘Priority-1’ zones, 220 traffic violation hotspots and 183 critical pedestrian accident zones have been identified.

Mr. Anand reviewed the plan with Transport Commissioner Ilambarithi through a video conference on Wednesday, and asked officials to move beyond treating crashes as isolated incidents and study patterns in accident locations, timings, road design and engineering defects.
