During the drive, a total 184 accidents were registered in the city, in which 195 people were killed. Among the death toll were 55 riders and pillion riders, comprising those with and without helmets. The same period saw the deaths of 95 pedestrians. The corresponding period in 2015 saw 216 accidents, in which 220 people died. Seventy-two riders, with and without helmets, and 101 pedestrians lost their lives during the six months.
