A traffic accident is an unplanned event that results in injury, deaths, damage to property or some other losses which could be due to deliberate or negligent conduct of human beings. Occurrence of accident is an outcome of interplay of a number of factors, which among others include length of road network, vehicle population, human population and adherence/enforcement of road safety regulations etc., Higher exposure of road accident risk may be mitigated by behavioral standards (adherence to road safety regulations) and policy intervention (enforcement). The accident data for the month November 2020 is analysed in this report. 2. Districtwise Total Accidents during the month of Nov 2020
