<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The report was released in the conference hall of CMP in the presence of various government agencies, engineering and medical institutions, and stakeholders working on road safety.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Analyzing

total deaths were pedestrians.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Apart from this, 30 percent of the total deaths in accidents are motorcycle and three-wheeler
