BHUBANESWAR: An expert committee comprising of members from NHAI and Works department and other stakeholders – constituted on the recommendation of the Supreme Court – has recommended rectifications of black spots on NHs and State Highways passing through Khurda, Kendrapara and Puri districts.
It conducted a road audit as most of the black spots identified at the district-level were found unrectified despite repeated reminders leading to further mishaps.Sources said more than 300 black spots are identified every year following road mishaps and authorities concerned are intimated for rectification. As most of them are rectified on paper, the same road engineering defects crop up again the next year.
