KATHMANDU, JANUARY 25: Annually hundreds of people have lost their lives in the Kathmandu Valley due to road accidents. According to the Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police Office, as many as 88 people lost their lives in 5,865 road accidents just in the first six months of the current fiscal year. Likewise, 148 people were critically injured and 4,438 persons sustained minor injuries.
Most of the deceased in the accidents are motorcyclists and pedestrians. Senior vice-president of the National Federation of Nepal Transport Entrepreneurs Punya Prasad (Saroj) Sitaula said that two-wheelers in the Kathmandu Valley are more prone to accidents. “High speed of motorcycles and scooters and pedestrians rampantly crossing the road have caused the highest number of fatalities in Kathmandu”, he said.

Similarly, it is keeping tabs on alcohol consumption by drivers and prohibiting vehicles from plying at a speed of more than 50 kilometres per hour, etc, to minimize accidents on the roads of the valley.
