After road accident fatalities reached an all-time high in 2022, the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is working to rectify all accident-prone blackspots in the country by May 2025, Highways Secretary Anurag Jain said on Wednesday.
“At present, a total of 9,000 black spots have been identified. The concerned authorities have been asked to prepare a Detailed Project Report of the remaining black spots within the next three months (May 2024), and a target of rectifying all engineering defects by May 2025 has been set,” Jain said at an event organised by the International Road Federation’s India Chapter.
