Multiple accidents on India's expressways: Bus overturns in Etawah, injuring several; car collision kills two in Mathura. Urgent need for road safety measures.

Data collection on driver fatigue-related accidents has been discontinued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways since 2017. This is troubling, as drivers falling asleep accounted for a significant number of accidents on roads, particularly on the Yamuna expressway. A senior lawyer and road safety activist, Kishan Chand Jain, has written a letter to the transport minister urging the reinstatement of data collection. Accurate data is essential for understanding the root causes of fatigue and developing effective measures to prevent accidents and fatalities.
