National Highways Authority Of India [NHAI] — accidents at nh1 due to poor maintenance

Address:

Patiala, Punjab, 140401

Sir i would like to raise your attention towards the increasing number of accidents at NH1 day by day due to lack of maintenance. The part where these accident happens falls between Rajpura and Ambala near Gaggal Heri village some kilometres before Shanbhu Village toll plaza. Obviously there are no lights over there so its difficult for the new drivers as a part of highway is left unmaintained since the highway was made by the contractor. One accident daily happens there during night time. The highway is straight but there is a sudden diversion which the drivers are not able to get and thus their vehicles rush unto the concrete. Practically it is not possible for a car travelling about 80-100 km/hr usually to take such quick diversions in just 20-30 metres as there is just a single diversion board which comes in visibility when the vehicle light falls on it. The number of accidents are increasing day by day and no solution is being made. It is really a important concern. I request you to please contact with the contractor and get the part fixed.
