00:00I would like to tell you that the Chief Minister is very concerned about these incidents.
00:09The first meeting he held on 1st January, 2025, was to reduce the number of such incidents.
00:22The Chief Minister has repeatedly instructed us to reduce the number of such incidents,
00:27to minimize the loss of lives and property.
00:32Because when an incident occurs and someone's precious life is lost,
00:38the whole family is shattered.
00:40Often, it is the earning age group.
00:44To stop this, Parivahan Nigam is also trying to do its part.
00:48I would like to tell you that the total loss of lives in this area is around 22,000.
00:58Out of these 22,000, 411 have been lost.
01:02This is the number of lives lost by Parivahan Nigam in this area.
01:17In this way, about 5% of the accidents in the whole area have been caused by Parivahan Nigam's buses.
01:24Many efforts have been made to stop this.
01:28I would like to tell you that the buses that travel more than 350 km,
01:37have a double driver in them.
01:40So that if one driver gets tired or drives at night,
01:45then the other driver can handle the steering.
01:48In addition to this, speed control devices have been installed in our buses,
01:54so that there is no speed more than 80 km.
01:57Sometimes our roads have improved due to speed.
02:00Expressways have been built.
02:02So speed is increased there.
02:04And you must have seen that high speed is the reason for about one third of accidents.
02:09So for that, speed control devices have been installed.
02:12A new technology has come, AI-based.
02:16What happens in it is that a camera keeps monitoring the driver's activity.
02:21And if the driver is sleepy or for some reason the driver is getting a jolt,
02:26then it immediately rings an alarm,
02:28so that the driver wakes up.
02:30If there is still no difference in the driver's movement,
02:33then in the back cabin, where the passengers are sitting,
02:37there is a strong alarm.
02:39We have installed this in 600 buses.
02:43We know it as an anti-sleep device.
02:46So we hope that this year there will be enough reduction in these accidents.
