Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has addressed a pressing issue to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari regarding the alarming state of the Pune-Nashik and Nashik-Mumbai national highways. He stresses the urgent need for immediate repairs to prevent further accidents and ensure commuter safety.
The condition of these highways, dotted with deep potholes, has led to a noticeable increase in vehicular damage and accidents, jeopardizing lives and hindering industrial and commercial activities. Despite regular toll collections, there has been no significant improvement in road quality or safety.
