Experts Urge Maharashtra to Prioritize Road Safety Amid High Fatality Rates

In a big state called Maharashtra, many people, especially kids and teenagers, get hurt or die on the roads every year.

This is a big problem because India has over 150,000 road deaths each year.

Many of these accidents happen because people drive too fast.

Kids aren't always safe because they don't wear helmets or use safe ways to cross the road.

Experts had a meeting to talk about how to make roads safer.

They want people to be more careful and want the government to make better rules.

They also talked about making sure kids get enough healthy food because being healthy helps them learn and be safe.

Making roads safer is like making sure everyone has a safe playground – it’s very important!
