Poor Infrastructure Raises Safety Concerns on Amritsar Bypass and Pathankot-Mandi Highway
Two highways in Punjab, the Amritsar bypass and the Pathankot-Mandi highway, face significant safety concerns due to poor infrastructure. The Amritsar bypass suffers from damaged culverts, overgrown vegetation, and deteriorating road conditions, leading to frequent accidents. Meanwhile, the old Pathankot-Mandi highway has potholes, narrow stretches, and aging bridges, some declared unsafe but unrepaired. Commuters urge the National Highways Authority of India to address these hazards promptly to improve road safety and traffic flow.
