He said that the State stood in the sixth place in the country in minimising the fatalities in accidents. “Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu set the target of bringing down the rate of fatalities by 50 per cent,” he added.
He said that as part of the demo-corridor project, the rate of fatalities in Renigunta-Kadapa road has been reduced by 41 per cent. “Necessary vehicles and speed guns would be purchased with that amount to further bring down the fatalities,” he added.
