Khanna: nine months after part of the main flyover in Ludhiana-Delhi National Highway has given up here, some of the stretch remains problematic for passengers because they have not been fully repaired.
The road safety expert said it was the main highway, and remembering national security, it should have been fixed in a few days.
In November last year, part of the stretch of Ludhiana to Delhi had surrendered near Amloh Road and the authorities had linked the collapse with mice, which fed to the trash nearby.
The authorities have transferred the vehicle to serve the path, causing traffic chaos for commuters who came from Amritsar, Jammu, Jalandhar, Ludhiana on our way to Delhi.
However, even when the road was repaired in January this year, it again needed repairs, which had been done recently.
The Times of India found that road construction agents have diged the right side (from Ludhiana to Delhi) for repairs, and it has not finished work.
The transfer continues on both sides of the road with traffic being converted into a single path on a small stretch.
Nhai officials said the road was excavated on the left side of the road four lanes because of some technical problems after being repaired after the cave-in.
They added that after being repaired, the road was excavated on the right side too because it was part of a problematic stretch.
The project director does not respond to repetitive calls, but the sources in the authority claim that improvements will occur immediately.
Kamaljit Soi Street Safety Expert, which is a member of the National Road Safety Board, said, “They have no resources and willingness to make improvements.
The road, which is part of the national highway network from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and has significance regarding the main defense due to leading to The road to the Pakistani border should have been repaired in a few days.
There are traffic congestion on stretches, especially in the morning and curfew.
“He also asked questions for the quality of the material used at the time of construction.
Harsh Kumar Bhalla, a social activist from Khanna, who has raised this problem several times, said improvements had passed many deadlines.
“It’s been around nine months since the improvement begins and it has missed four or five deadlines.
The result is that part of the traffic is placed on the service road because it is in bad condition.
There is an accident too because of the dense traffic on a narrow road,” he added.
“Instead of a road raised, it should be in the pillar.
This will serve two goals: the vehicle can be parked underneath and will not divide Khanna in two parts and inhibit the traffic movement.
I have written a letter to Nhai and the Minister of Transportation and Roads Raya, “Bhalla added.
Comuters said the agency would immediately repair the road.
“We went to Chandigarh and Delhi through Khanna and repair work caused problems during rush hour,” Amarjit Kaur said, a resident of Ludhiana.
Nine months, Ludh-Delhi NH is still not fully repaired
