NHAI Implements Safety Improvements on Four Accident-Prone NH-48 Links in Gurugram
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has undertaken safety improvements on four accident-prone connecting corridors to NH-48 in Gurugram—namely Iffco Chowk, Atlas Chowk, Jharsa Chowk, and Sector 33—following a safety audit conducted in February 2025. The audit identified issues such as unsafe medians, poor lighting, faded markings, and lack of pedestrian infrastructure. Measures implemented include enhanced signage, street lighting, footpath repairs, concrete barriers, and plans for speed-calming and alternate parking. These efforts aim to reduce accidents, which numbered 233 with 127 fatalities on NH-48 in 2025.
