The recently built double-laned Kullu-Manali National Highway (NH-3) has become a death trap for commuters with many fatal accidents reported here.
Around 72 road accidents have taken place in the past year under the Kullu police station and of these, 55 accidents took place on the national highway. The speed of vehicles is becoming the major cause of accidents. Though the police are keeping an eye through ITMS cameras and penalising the violators, but some people are undeterred and risk their lives as well as those of others.
