Nagpur: criticized the authorities for the deteriorating conditions of the national highway passing from Amravati to Jalgaon through Akola, Nagpur Bench High Court Bombay on Wednesday search for repair and widening work status status reports.
The Sunil Shukre and Anil Division Bench also demanded a progress report on the National Highway Authority (NHAI) claiming to make a stretch between Nagpur and Amravati, smooth and strong for vehicle traffic, with photographic evidence.
“We direct respondents to submit on the road map they provide detailed plans and time where, all work will be completed and NH-53 from Nagpur to Malkapur is made suitable for vehicle traffic,” said the judge before postponing his hearing until September 29.
The direction came when he heard pills (no 22/2019) by Arun Patil’s lawyer through Counsel Firdos Mirza highlighting the sad condition of the Amergravati-Akola-Jalgaon Road and Wardha-Sindhkhed Raja Road which led to many accidents and fatal losses of valuable life.
“It seems that the NH-53 (formerly NH-6) has made repairs and the widening process for more than five to six years.
However, instead of seeing an increase in these conditions, there was a setback,” said the bench.
Mirza shows that stretching between Nagpur and Amravati is in poor condition because there is no improvement carried out.
