Kolkata Sees Sharp Drop in Road Deaths

The number of people dying in road accidents in Kolkata has gone down a lot.

Last year, 191 people died, but this year, it dropped to 154.

This is the lowest number in any big city.

The police say this happened because of a program called 'Safe Drive Save Life' that started in 2016.

The program teaches people to follow traffic rules.

Even though fewer people are dying, some people say the roads are still not safe because there aren't enough sidewalks and the police don't always punish rule breakers.

The police chief talked about this at an event where they showed off a new jersey for a half marathon that supports the program.
