The data for the evaluation is attained from two main sources namely: • Natio?al Cri?e Record Bureau (NCRB): the body was formed to access the mishaps happening on road across the country in terms of accidents and crime reported on road. The periodic surveys conducted by the organization are very helpful in evaluating the success of the road safety rules and regulations. • Mi?istry of Road Tra?sport a?d Highways ?MORTH?: the orga?izatio? was for?ed with the purpose of assessing the road safety. The accidents amounting to the number of deaths across the country are recorded.
