|August 13, 2025
Amid the high road fatalities in Sundargarh and Keonjhar, two key mining districts, Odisha police has made good use of data analytics and paired it with a response mechanism to bring down the numbers.
A project piloted in the most accident-prone areas has helped curb fatalities as well as injuries. As part of the initiative, Koida, K Balang, Lahunipada, Chandiposh, Brahmani, Barang and RN Pali police stations under Rourkela police district and Birmitrapur, Rajgangpur, Bargaon, Sadar and Hemgir police stations under Sundargarh police district have been included in the pilot initiative which was conducted in July. Six police stations under Keonjhar too are part of it.
Police sources informed that accident data for the one-month period showed encouraging changes after implementation of the pilot project. According to statistics, Rourkela, which had reported 17 fatalities in July 2024, marked a drop to 12 this year.
