548 deaths on Yamuna Expressway in five years
The 165-km long Yamuna Expressway has witnessed 548 fatalities in five years while there were over 4,000 accidents since the Expressway opened in August 2012. "Till date, there's no mechanism to monitor the speed of vehicles and challan (book) them promptly. Against the mandated speed of 100 kmph, most vehicles cross 150 kmph," said Agra Development Foundation secretary KC Jain.
