At least 475 people were killed and 815 injured in 452 road crashes across the country last month, Bangladesh Jatri Kalyan Samity said today.
Of the victims, 138 bike related road crashes claimed lives of 163 people, which is 34.31 percent and 30.53 percent of the deaths and road crashes respectively.
The samity prepared the report on the basis of the media reports.
The organisation gave six reasons, including rise in violation of traffic rules in absence of adequate law enforcers on the roads, behind the accidents.
It gave 11 recommendation including halting import and registration of small vehicles like motorcycles and easy bikes to reduce the number of the road crashes.
