At least 1,16,726 people were killed and 1,65,021 others were injured in 67,890 road crashes across Bangladesh in the last 12 years, a report of the Passenger Welfare Association of Bangladesh revealed on Tuesday.
The association leaders blamed the 鈥榳rong鈥� policies of the government for the deaths on the roads.
The association published the report at a press conference held at the Dhaka Reporter鈥檚 Unity in the capital.
At the conference, the association secretary general Md Mozammel Haque Chowdhury said that they had collected the accident data from the newspapers and other media.
He added that the scenarios at the hospitals suggested that the number of causalities in road accidents was much higher.
