- Height decreasing due to repeated repairs
warora, Three people were killed and 18 injured in an accident involving vehicles crossing the divider thrice in a span of 20 days near Warora on Chandrapur Nagpur highway. Even though in some cases the speed of the vehicles was high. But one reason for this is also believed to be the low height of the highway divider. Because the height of the divider of this highway is around 10 inches. That’s why there is a need to pay attention to this also.
NCP leader Deepak Jaiswal, the former city president of Chandrapur, on 31 January in his car no. MH 34 was coming in BR 6886. Meanwhile, a truck was turning near Temurda. Seeing the truck, the car driver lost control of the vehicle and the car collided with a two-wheeler going from the opposite direction after crossing the divider. In this incident, Deepak Jaiswal, his driver and two-wheeler driver Ramesh Jenekar were injured. All the three injured were admitted to the Upazila Hospital for treatment.
Prior to this, on January 14, a private bus no. came to be built in a garage on the highway. During the trial of MH 34 BG 6420, it collided with a two wheeler of MH 32 T 2719 by crossing an uncontrolled bus divider. In this incident Shantabai Goche (60), resident of Vadgaon, died on the spot and Raju Goche and Tulsiram Goche were seriously injured.
Earlier on 14th January, a private bus no. coming from Nagpur to Chandrapur. The MH 40 AT 481 collided with the truck number MH 40 BG 9540 after crossing the divider, the collision was so strong that the cabins of both the vehicles entered inside each other and the drivers of both died on the spot. In which Chandrapur resident bus driver Sabir Sheikh (45) truck driver Amardeep Bujade (31) is included. Another 13 passengers were injured. The collision was so strong that both the vehicles had to be cut and separated from the Hydra with the help of gas cutters.
In this regard, Sanjay Rathod, Junior Engineer of PWD Chandrapur, said that generally there is a rule for the height of the national highway, within the city and the divider of the highway. As the height of the divider of Chandrapur Nagpur National Highway should be at least 1 foot. But due to the repair of roads again and again, the height there reduces. Accidents happen again and again, on the demand of citizens, the National Highway Authority of India can consider its height by paying attention to this. Because it is not right to have accidents like this.
