Despite Mumbai traffic police's effort to enforce rules and regulations, the number of fatal accident cases have only risen. As per the data procured from the Mumbai police traffic department, 2017 witnessed a spike in the number of deaths due to road accidents, compared to 2016. The Right to Information (RTI) has also revealed that the department doesn't maintain records with the corresponding cause of death, which activists allege, can cause hurdles in framing road safety policies.
