Alwar (Rajasthan): Positive results have been observed from NHAI's surveillance system on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, leading to a reduction in accidents. Following frequent reports of major accidents since the opening of the expressway, the officials studied the problem and identified the main cause as over speeding. This led to NHAI initiating a surveillance system on August 1.
In the past month, there have been no major accidents, and over 400 vehicles have been fined automatically for over speeding. According to information, in the past year and a half, over 160 people have lost their lives, and hundreds were injured in road accidents on the expressway.
ASP Tejpal Singh said that since the start of the Delhi Mumbai Expressway passing through Alwar, people were constantly driving their vehicles at high speed, due to which accidents were happening on the expressway every day. To stop the increasing accidents on the expressway, steps were taken by NHAI and from August 1, online challans are being issued to those resorting to over speeding. Due to this, people are now afraid of challans. Now drivers on the expressway are driving their vehicles according to the prescribed speed limit. The positive result of this is that no major accident has come to light on the expressway in the last one month.
