Supreme Court express concern over deaths in accidents due to potholes

-PTI

The Supreme Court on Friday expressed concern over deaths in accidents caused by potholes on roads across the country and observed that the number of fatalities caused by such accidents was more than those in terror attacks.

A bench of Justices Madan B. Lokur and Deepka Gupta observed that a large number of people were dying in accidents caused by potholed roads and asked the Supreme Court Committee on Road Safety to look into the matter.

”So many people are dying in the country due to accident caused by potholes on roads. Reports say that more people have died due to accident caused by potholes than the deaths in terrorists attacks,” the bench observed.

Terming the situation as “frightening”, the bench observed that the issue involves a serious question of life and death of a person.
