Commuters on NH-44 in Ludhiana face significant risks due to numerous dark spots caused by defunct streetlights and unattended damaged sewer covers. The National Highways Authority of India's storm sewer project, initiated two years ago, remains incomplete in sections, with broken or open chambers posing hazards, especially at night and during fog. Motorists report minor accidents and express concern for two-wheeler riders, urging authorities to address the safety issues before a major tragedy occurs.
