1.5. Health Burden due to Traffic Accidents – Health Index due to Traffic To describe the health burden due to traffic accidents in Punjab using a decentralized ranking approach, a district-wise analysis performed on the road traffic fatalities. Health burden due to road traffic is defined as a number of road accident fatalities against per million populations. It is found that the Road accident death rate against per million population of Punjab was 146 for the year 2019. Districts like Fatehgarh Sahib, Rupnagar and S.A.S. Nagar were recorded with 1.5 to 1.7 times more than the state average with ranking 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Out of 22 districts of Punjab, 10 districts have shown a decline in overall road fatalities ranking, whereas Districts like Bathinda and Shri Muktsar Sahib have shown significant rise followed by Mansa.

1.6. District Ranking System Following a decentralized approach, district-based ranking system using road accident fatalities against per million populations rate (Table 6), as an indicator, all 22 districts of Punjab are ranked from 1 to 22. All three districts falling in Rupnagar Police range, namely Fatehgarh Sahib, Rupnagar and S.A.S Nagar are ranked at number 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Tarn Taran and Gurdaspur amongst the safest in Punjab

Figure 8: Time slot wise Road Accident Distribution Pattern in Punjab – 2019
As per the time slot, wise distribution of total road accidents in Punjab, including all fatal, major, minor, the critical time slot for Punjab is between 6 PM to 9 PM in the evening. From midnight 12 AM to 9 AM, are relatively safer hours to travel. Special Zero tolerance enforcement drive is very essential in the evening time slot between 6 PM to 9 PM. It is required to do such analysis at each Police station level to plan enforcement strategy, as these time slots vary from Urban to Rural localities, Police station covering National and State Highways versus Police station covering rural road network, etc.

2.2. Road Accidents in Rural and Urban areas of Punjab
Figure 9: Area wise Distribution of Road Accidents in Punjab 2019
Location wise, out of 6,341 accidents reported, 2611 (41%) occurred in urban areas of Punjab and 3730 (59%) in rural areas of Punjab. Urban areas of Punjab have a higher concentration of road accidents compared with the urban area available versus the percentage of road accidents. Last year (2018) the percentage of road crashes in Urban areas share in road accident fatalities was 42%.

8. Annexures
8.1. Copy of Standing Order Regarding Registration of Road Accident FIR’s and Its Location (Latitude and Longitude)
Standing Order: 2018/01 Traffic Wing, Punjab.
1. Punjab has reported 4278 number of deaths and 4024 number of Injuries in road accidents in the year 2017. Faulty Road Engineering in one of the reasons for road accidents. In practice, it has been seen that there are sports/points on National Highways, State Highways, Major district Highways and Other District Road where accidents take place regularly. 2. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has circulated the definition of black spots as under; “Definition of Road Accident Black Spot on National Highways, Road Accidents Black spot in a stretch of National Highway of about 500 m in length in which either 5 road accidents (in all three years put together involving fatalities/grievous injuries) took place during the last 3 calendar years or 10 fatalities (in all three years put together) took place during the last 3 calendar years.” 3. Ministry of Road Transport and National Highways has circulated a performa for recording road accident details. This performa has been circulated by Addl. Director General of Police, Traffic, Punjab, Chandigarh vide office letter No.38-72/Traffic-4, dated: 08.01.2018 to all CsP & SSsP and AIG/GRP. GPS locations (Latitude and Longitude) for accident spots are to be recorded in column No.20 of Performa. 4. GPS locations (Latitude and Longitude) are vital for identifying the Black Spots/Accident Prone Points and taking further corrective Road Engineering Measures. It has been observed that Investigation Officers are not recording the GPS location at the time of registration of FIR’s or when proceeding under section 174 Cr.P.C. in road accident cases. 5. Also, when the Performa circulated be MoRTH (Ministry of Road Transport & Highway) is to be filled by Investigation Officers, they have to revisit the spot, to record coordinates, which causes unnecessary delay and wastage of time. Also, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, NHAI, Dept. of PWD (B & R), Govt. of Punjab, keep pressing for this information. 6. It is directed that at the time of registering the FIR’s, Investigation officers will record GPS coordinates (Latitude and Longitude) in the column number 5 the FIR, where distance & direction of the place of occurrence from the Police Station, is mentioned in all accident cases. It is also made mandatory to write the coordinates in the First Case Diary. 7. With GPS available in all Mobile Hand Sets, the recording of coordinate is simple and easy. It is also directed to ensure that all Investigation Officers record coordinates in required column No. 5 of FIR and First Case Diary.
