The Solan police today directed the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to remove debris from several points on the Parwanoo-Solan section of the National Highway-5 within three days failing which it would be booked for negligence.
Though the work to clear the debris is underway by GR Infraprojects, the firm which had four-laned the highway, it has not been completed. Notably, large mounds of debris and boulders have accumulated after rains on the highway.
Motorists have to negotiate several diversions while commuting from Solan to Parwanoo as two lanes are closed for traffic due to debris or repair work at many stretches. These have become accident-prone spots.
