Jaipur-Gurgoan highway: Haphazard flyovers

The Jaipur-Gurgoan highway... 240kms, 8 hours... trucks in all lanes... squeeze past at your own risk and you are trained for circus for free. Flyovers under construction every third km. Flyovers under construction in Kothputli and Behror are a good joke! And Haryana takes the cake—jams and Jams. NHAI is charging around Re 1/km, about Rs 240 as toll. And this is going for last so many years and the highway is getting worse. And now with rain and potholes, it's a nightmare. —SHEKHAR GARG

Iappreciate your newspaper for taking up citizens' cause. I'd like to bring few other facts to your notice. Firstly, nobody has pointed out the way these flyovers are chosen to be made on NH-8. In Neemrana, there was one big flyover but another smaller one was made without any requirement— this one is creating a major hurdle. Similarly on the Rewari bypass, there is a major intersection where NH-8 is connecting to Rohtak Road. But there is no flyover, resulting in chaos. It's a sheer wastage of public money where flyovers are made indiscriminately without assessing their requirement. Secondly, despite your massive campaign, NHAI has increased rates of toll on this road from September 1. The rule book says concessionaire can claim toll only after road is fully made. —SANJAY KAUSHIK

Ihad a chance to drive through the Pink City expressway twice in the last month. My enthusiasm hit a low as I crossed the Gurgaon toll. The most disappointing thing was that there were six-seven diversions due to construction work going on for overbridges and on an average 15-30 minutes were being lost at each diversion. Second noticeable headache was the number of long trailers running on the road in all three lanes at different speeds, sometimes taking sharp turns without any indicator. I wondered if heavy vehicles should have separate roads. NHAI should ensure separate lane for heavy vehicles. Till such improvements are done, levying of tolls should stop. —BIKRAM SINGH
