37,000 Killed on India's 6,358 Highway Black Corridors in 3 Years

In India, there are special stretches of roads called 'black corridors' where many accidents happen.

Over the last three years, more than 37,000 people have died on these 6,358 stretches.

The government has identified these dangerous spots using special tools and data.

Tamil Nadu has the most black corridors, with 958 stretches.

The government is taking steps to make these roads safer, like putting up warning signs and building better roads.

However, they haven't said how many of these dangerous stretches have been fully fixed.
