District Collector N.S.K. Umesh convened a review meeting here on Thursday to take stock of aspects related to construction works that are on on NH 66 and NH 85.
This comes a day after a car passenger died and others in the vehicle sustained injuries at Mamala near here after the vehicle fell into an unmarked trench at a spot where NH 85 is being redeveloped.
Mr. Umesh directed the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the other agencies concerned to clear mud, debris, and other materials from drains and culverts in these highway corridors. It is crucial to ensure steady flow of water through the drains and prevent flooding.
