Safety Analysis, Srinagar City, and Road AccidentsAbstract
Road accidents, which kill countless people worldwide, are one of the greatest man-made disasters we face today in the world of current revenue sources. Road accidents are still a significant barrier to sustainable human progress, particularly in developing nations. After extensive research in this area, practical experience has shown that such annihilation can be reduced to a minimum to some extent, and industrialised nations have so offered several safety precautions. Road accidents are still a major issue, or one could even say a threat to India's ability to advance economically and socially. Every year, more than 1 lakh persons in India are killed in traffic accidents and many more suffer injuries. In the last five years, there have been more than 8000 road accidents in Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir during the summer. Therefore, it is imperative to adopt a mandatory action to improve the city's climate for road safety. Therefore, it is imperative that all relevant institutions, including those related to government, law enforcement, and other institutional mechanisms, come together for this purpose in order to reach a better decision that will either end accidents altogether or at the very least reduce their frequency to the absolute minimum.
