Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed that a statewide “Road Safety Month” with a focus on the 4E model “Education, Enforcement, Engineering and Emergency Care” will be observed next year from January 1 to 31. Chairing a high-level review meeting with senior officials yesterday, the Chief Minister said the campaign should not remain a formality but evolve into a people-centric movement.

 

Emphasising the seriousness of the issue, Mr Adityanath referred to official data showing that 46,223 road accidents were reported in the state till November 2025, claiming 24,776 lives. He said these figures are extremely alarming and even one death causes lifelong pain to an entire family.
