Taking cognizance of the accidents occurring due to illegally made cuts on national highways, the Yogi government has issued orders to all the district magistrates of Uttar Pradesh, seeking immediate closure of all such cuts on the NHS.
According to an official release from the Chief Minister’s office (CMO), “The officials have also been instructed to regularly monitor after the closure of the illegal cuts to avoid their recurrence on national highways.”
Notably, these unauthorised cuts on national highways pose a risk of major accidents, involving even school buses sometimes. With this move, the government aims to fulfil its commitment to reduce road accidents and deaths resulting from them.
