He also called upon all highway engineers to ensure that sound engineering solutions are put in place at the design stage of the highway itself.
Stressing the importance of proactive measures, the Minister of State for Road Transport & Highways Mr. Mansukh L Mandaviya said that local problems of a highway site should be taken into account when preparing the DPR for a highway project. Giving the example of frequent landslides in the North Eastern and hilly states, Mr. Mandaviya said that appropriate solutions should be built into the road designs at the DPR stage. He also emphasized the importance of developing indigenous technology in this area and said that long term vision and initiative are keys to tackling the problem.
