National Highways Authority Of India [NHAI] — h p pump on national highway 44 between doraha and manji sahib

Dear sir,

I write to you on account of a near accident at national highway 44 between doraha and manji sahib.

An under construction hindustan petroleum petrol pump on the left is coming up on the left while going from doraha to khanna. While i was crossing the pump, a truck backed out of the petrol pump directly on to the main highway causing me to brake hard and i just about missed hitting the truck with cars behind me too braking hard to avoid a collision. My friend on the back seat banged his head against the front seat but thankfully no major injury took place.

This petrol pump when fully functional would pose higher risks to commuters and i wonder how it has been allowed entry on to the main national highway directly. I was saved that day but it may not be so for others. But to avoid such incidents in the future no petrol pump should have direct entry to the fast moving national highway. There are other pumps that have a long entry and exit running parallelly to the national highway and merge gradually in to it. Such entry and exits must be on nhai directions and it is appreciated as it avoids accidents.

My complaint be please noted to safeguard interest of tax paying and toll paying customers who are paying for safety and good roads not to lose their lives to such petrol pumps who have disregard for the safety and lives of citizens.

Yours sincerely..
