Delhi: PWD to redevelop accident-prone Rohtak Road
The Public Works Department (PWD) will strengthen the accident-prone Rohtak Road or National Highway-10, which connects the Nangloi-Najafgarh crossing to the Tikri Border, with new bitumen, fill potholes and cracks, and replace bearings.
The road safety cell of the transport department, in a recent study called ‘Delhi Road Clash Fatalities Report’, had declared the zone a ‘high-risk corridor’ and as unsafe for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
According to the report, about 31 people were killed on this stretch per kilometre. The report also shows that in 2020 alone, 13 people were killed in hit-and-run cases, while two cyclists, 10 pedestrians and 15 motorcyclists were killed in accidents on the road spread over 18.79 km.
