The title should be " Road accidents claim 967 lives, militancy
37 in J&K in 2012". Don't include those 58 scumbags with innocents who lost their lifes coz of these ultras.

Exactly- whilst it is good deaths in JK caused by militancy are down ~1000 lives for state of ~12,000,000 is just appalling. Road safety in India needs to be dramatically improved immediately.

Yes, this was at the back of my mind but even taking into account the terrain the numbers are just too high. And we have plenty of supporting evidence- just look at nation-wide figures for India, per capita road death in India is sickening.

The last time I was up north in India, I nearly **** myself going up those roads, seriously hasn't whoever in charge of public roads ever heard of safety railings. I noticed the same on the way to Munnar in Kerala. Might be different now though, I haven't been up north in more than a decade.
