Pakistan: Over 77,000 Road Crashes in Balochistan in 5 Years
Imagine the roads in Balochistan are like dangerous race tracks.
Over the past five years, there have been a lot of crashes, like more than 77,000, and sadly, almost 1,800 people have died because of them.
These roads are not very safe because they're old, narrow, and not well-maintained.
The N-25 highway, also known as the highway of death, is especially dangerous, with many accidents.
The government hasn't been taking good care of these roads, which is why there are so many accidents.
If the government doesn't fix them, more people will get hurt or die.
Over 77,000 road accidents occurred in Balochistan in five years.
The accidents resulted in 1,743 deaths and more than 103,000 injuries.
The N-25 Highway (Karachi-Chaman) is one of the most dangerous routes.
Highways are often single-lane and lack proper lighting.
The government's lack of attention is a major contributing factor.
