The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), which manages NH-48, where industrialist Cyrus Mistry was killed on Sunday in an accident, has been told to put rumbler strips in at least 12 spots on the highway stretch passing through Palghar district of Maharashtra.

Palghar collector Govind Bodke had convened a meeting of the police, NHAI, Public Works department, Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation and City Industrial Development Corporation and other stakeholders on Thursday evening.

Speaking to The Indian Express, Palghar superintendent of police Balasaheb Patil said, “We have told NHAI to put rumbler strips in at least 12 spots so that the speed of vehicles automatically reduces. We have also asked them to install cats eye reflectors and signages to caution motorists.”
