Accidents and deaths on the streets of the state capital decreased significantly in 2020 compared to the previous year 2019 due to the nationwide lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Taj Hassan, Special Commissioner for Police, Traffic, Delhi Police, the number of accidents has fallen by 26 percent. A total of 5,610 accidents were reported in 2019, including 1,433 fatal ones, while 4,178 accidents were reported in 2020, including 1,163 fatal accidents.
The number of deaths fell by 18 percent and the number of people injured in road accidents fell by 29 percent . In 2019, 5,152 injuries and 1,463 deaths were reported, while 3,662 injuries and 1,196 deaths were reported in 2020.
In this challenging year, the traffic police adapted to the new realities of life and optimized their enforcement strategies. Due to the need for social distancing, law enforcement requiring face-to-face interaction with the traffic violators has been suspended and electronic law enforcement is done by breaching the camera app.
Throughout 2020, Delhi Police kept the focus on the enforcement of discipline by road users through high-quality law enforcement measures, in particular violations of unauthorized parking, improper parking, lane driving, driving without a helmet, triple driving and similar violations.
Special trips against overspeed, drunk driving, improper parking and vehicles of the public transport, tracking of e-rickshaws, enforcement of entry restrictions and environmental trips.
In addition, more emphasis was placed on regulation than on law enforcement, especially given the restrictions and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
