NEW DELHI: The Delhi government said that it will develop a 4 kilometre stretch of road in north Delhi as a “Zero fatality corridor”.

The stretch of Outer Ring Road between Burari Chowk and Bhalswa Chowk, not more than three kilometres long, is arguably the capital’s deadliest, claiming 67 lives last year. It is this killer stretch that the Delhi government has chosen for a proposed ‘zero fatality corridor’.

Jasmin Shah, vice-chairman of Dialogue and Development commission, Delhi government said, “this is a pilot project and our aim is to bring down the fatalities to zero on this particular stretch. We will replicate the model in other parts of the city.”

This project is a part of the Delhi government’s road safety policy, which was finalised this year.
