Nagpur: expressed concern over the speed breaker to regulate the highway in total violations, the Nagpur bench from the Bombay High Court on Wednesday searched for a reply from the Indian National Highway Authority (NHAI) about what steps he had taken to remove it.
While asking NHAI to submit a new Affidavit, a division bench consisting of Judge Sunil Shukre and Justice Anil Kiors also sought information about the proposed penalty or imposed on Shoddy’s work contractor at NH-53 from Nagpur to Malkapur.
“Affidavit should explain the reasons behind the absence of plants and trees in some parts of the median, poor median maintenance, ignore existing plants and trees, no signage indicators and paint shoulders in many places, lack of maintenance of highways regularly, delays in carrying In improvements, poor repair work, removal of defects and deficiencies, and increased road conditions, “said the bench before delaying hearing two weeks.
During the PIL (No.
22/2019) by Arun Patil’s lawyer through the advice of Firdos Mirza highlighted the sad condition of Amravati-Akola-Jalgaon Road and Wardha-Sindkhed King Road which led to many fatal accidents and the loss of valuable lives, the judges showed that NHAI had submitted Affidavit .
From different roads, which are not subject to pills.
“When testing from Nhai, we got the impression that the officer confused himself with another road and not the one under the supervision here.
Affidavit refers to the road stretching from Amravati to Kurankhed to Shelad to Nandura and to Chikhali.
All this place except for Nandura , Prima Facie, will be on a different road.
Nhai must submit a new statement describing the situation of stretching the road between Amravati to Malkapur and Amravati to Nagpur, “said the bench.
In the last trial, HC has slammed the respondents to worsen the condition of national highways through Amravati to Jalgaon to Jalgaon Akola, and look for status reports about repairs and widening.
NHAI has given a contract to build a stretch of Amravati-Akola-Jalgaon to a private company, which went bankrupt and since then work was stopped over the past few years.
Although many requests to the authorities, there is no progress that has been made and the condition continues to deteriorate, so that driving is very risky and difficult.
