Two thousand LED lights are being installed on a stretch of the National Highway-44 heading from Gharaunda to Jalandhar by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) in order to make commuting safe for motorists.
“The foundation work has been completed. Almost all poles have been erected and the wiring process has also been initiated,” said an official.
The road heading from Gharaunda to Jalandhar is a busy stretch. Motorists often complain about darkness on the stretch during nights, making them vulnerable to gangs of highway robbers.
The authorities concerned claimed that the installation of LED lights would make commuting easier on the NH-44.
