The Haryana and Delhi sections of National Highway 44 (NH-44) have emerged as the most unsafe road stretches in the country, according to 2023 data. NH-44, India\u2019s longest highway, runs from Srinagar to Kanyakumari. In 2023 alone, the 266-km stretch in Haryana witnessed 715 fatalities\u2014an alarming average of nearly three deaths per kilometre. Similarly, Delhi\u2019s 30-km stretch recorded 63 deaths, averaging two fatalities per kilometre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NH-44, NH-48 Stretches Top List of India\u2019s Most Accident-Prone Highways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SaveLife Foundation, in collaboration with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways under a signed MoU, analyzed government records and the new Integrated Road Accident Database (iRAD) to rank 100 of the country\u2019s highway stretches<\/a>. Based on the findings, the government and National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) have begun implementing corrective measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Delhi, the accident-prone segments of NH-44 include Mukarba Chowk\u2013Sanghu Border and Ashram\u2013Badarpur Border. Additionally, the NH-48 stretch in Haryana\u2014from Gurgaon to the Rajasthan border (85 km)\u2014ranked as the third most dangerous, with over two deaths per kilometre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Govt Launches Data-Driven Plan to Curb Highway Deaths in Crash-Prone Districts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials attribute the high accident rates to a lack of pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure, especially in urban stretches. The presence of mixed traffic in city zones\u2014ranging from heavy vehicles to vulnerable road users\u2014exacerbates the risk. Authorities are now directing highway developers and operators to take targeted remedial actions using the refined data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To further reduce crashes, the government has also launched the \u2018Data Driven Hyperlocal Intervention\u2019 (DDHI) program. It targets 100 districts across 18 states that report the highest number of road crashes. Maharashtra leads with 19 such districts, followed by Uttar Pradesh (18) and Karnataka (11). The initiative aims to deploy localised safety interventions based on data trends collected since 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary:<\/strong>
The Haryana and Delhi stretches of NH-44 are India\u2019s most dangerous highways, with 715 and 63 deaths respectively in 2023. A data-driven initiative using iRAD has prompted targeted safety measures. The government\u2019s DDHI program also identifies 100 high-risk districts across 18 states to implement localized crash prevention strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
