Highway Safety
A parliamentary committee has recommended establishing a National Highway Safety Patrol, modeled on the Railway Protection Force, to boost accident response, traffic enforcement, and infrastructure protection on India's growing highway network. The proposal comes amid data showing 4.73 lakh road accidents and 1.70 lakh fatalities in 2024, with national highways linked to over 52,600 deaths. The report was tabled in Parliament on March 25, 2026.
