The Chhattisgarh High Court has directed the state’s Chief Secretary and the National Highways Authority of India to file affidavits outlining the measures taken to improve road safety following a recent series of accidents.
The Chhattisgarh High Court has issued a notice to the state’s Chief Secretary and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), demanding affidavits that detail the road‑safety measures implemented after a recent spate of traffic accidents.
The court’s order comes in response to growing public concern over the safety of highways in the state, where several high‑profile crashes have highlighted gaps in enforcement and infrastructure.
The affidavits are expected to cover actions taken by the state government and NHAI, such as speed‑limit enforcement, road‑signage improvements, and the deployment of traffic police. The court has set a deadline for the submission of these documents.
If the affidavits are found lacking, the court may order further remedial steps to ensure safer roads for commuters across Chhattisgarh.
