Odisha Orders Road Cleaning to Prevent Accidents

The Odisha State Transport Authority has told all road-owning agencies, like the National Highways Authority of India, to clean roads more often.

They want to remove sand, soil, and construction debris that can cause accidents.

This comes after two women, including a journalist, died in a skidding accident on the Puri-Bhubaneswar highway.

The authority says roads should be kept clean and safe, especially in high-risk areas like mining belts and construction zones.

They will hold officers responsible if roads are not cleaned properly.
