Gurugram: The Gurugram Police on Saturday wrote to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and instructed the agency to immediately install escalators at three foot overbridges (FOBs) on National Highway-48. Police said the FOBs will help reduce the number of accidents on the 25km-long stretch.
Police said the decision was taken after a traffic team analysed accident data on Friday and found that a majority of pedestrians did not the FOBs as it involved climbing a number of stairs. Police added that most pedestrians prefer darting across busy roads, leading to accidents and deaths.
“We will follow the clauses mentioned in the contracts with the concessionaires,” said an NHAI official.
