INTERVIEW
Use of technology
for enforcement
G. Janardan, IPS, ADGP, PTRI, Madhya
Pradesh Police tells Trafficinfratech
that ensuring timely repairs &
upgrades of infrastructure is critical
to prevent road accidents.
How do you place Bhopal city in terms of
accidents and traffic violation compared to
more populated cities or other state capitals?
Bhopal is among the top 10 cities in India (sixth) in
terms of reported accidents. However, the number of fatal
accidents is lower as compared to other big cities. The
reasons for the big number of reported accidents are driver
negligence, poor road conditions, and limited infrastructure
improvements. Also, there are fewer major thoroughfares,
leading to increased traffic on smaller, less accommodating
roads. Lack of sufficient road maintenance and safety
upgrades also contributes to accident risks.
