629 National Highway Projects Miss Deadlines

A lot of national highway projects in India are taking longer than planned to finish.

Out of 1,191 projects being built, 629 have missed their deadlines.

The government is also taking steps to improve traffic management and safety on these highways.

They are setting up advanced systems to monitor traffic and manage incidents.

Additionally, they have introduced an annual pass for non-commercial vehicles to make toll collection easier.

Over 77 lakh annual passes have been issued, and these passes account for 33% of all electronic toll transactions.

The government is also identifying dangerous stretches of highways called 'black corridors' to make them safer.
