Punjab has witnessed a rise in road accidents in recent months, with some incidents resulting in significant casualties. The most common causes of these accidents include speeding, poor road conditions, and lack of proper traffic management. Authorities have been actively working to improve road safety, but the growing number of accidents is raising serious concerns. In one particularly tragic incident, a collision between a truck and a passenger bus left several people dead and many others injured.
In response, the Punjab police have increased their presence on highways, conducted random checks, and launched awareness campaigns about safe driving. They have also been collaborating with road safety organizations to implement more robust safety measures, such as better signage, road markings, and speed checks. Despite these efforts, there is still a long way to go in terms of ensuring safety for road users.
