## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS (SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI)

- (a)  to  (d)  The  Government  in  Ministry  of  Road  Transport  and Highways is primarily responsible for development and maintenance of National Highways (NHs).

The Government receives proposals from various State Governments / Union Territories (UTs), including from the districts of  Western Uttar Pradesh (UP) from time to time, for declaration / upgradation of State Roads, including State Highways (SHs), as new

NHs. Decisions are taken to notify State Roads as NHs from time to time based on the broad principles of declaration of NHs, requirement  of  connectivity,  traffic  density  and  synergy  with  PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan (NMP).

Development and maintenance of National Highways (NHs) is a  continuous  process.  Works  on  NHs,  are  accordingly  taken  up based on the traffic density, condition of road and synergy with PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan to keep the NHs in traffic worthy conditions.

Government has focused on development of NHs in accordance  with  the  traffic  volume  and  also  ensuring  that  no section of NHs should be left without any contractual maintenance agency.

The  details  of  completed  NHs  projects  for  development  and maintenance of NHs passing through Western UP during last three years and current year are at Annexure I.

Project-wise  details  of  sanctioned/ongoing  NHs  projects  for development and maintenance of NHs passing through Western UP with the time-frame of completion are at Annexure II.

Funds are allocated for development and maintenance of NHs State/  Union  Territory-wise/agency  wise  and  not  district  /  regionwise.

The details of funds allocated and expenditure incurred towards development and maintenance of NHs in the State of Uttar Pradesh during each of the last three years and the current year are as follows:

## Amount in Rs Crore

| Year                      | Allocation   | Expenditure   |
|---------------------------|--------------|---------------|
| 2022-23                   | 21,453.40    | 21,453.40     |
| 2023-24                   | 28,113.83    | 28,113.83     |
| 2024-25                   | 20,682.48    | 20,664.95     |
| 2025-26 (Till 31.12.2025) | 19,676.39    | 17,513.89     |

A number of schemes have been implemented by the Government  for  development  of  NHs  in  the  country.  These  are Bharatmala Pariyojana including subsumed National Highways Development Project (NHDP), Special Accelerated Road Development Programme for North-East Region (SARDP-NE), Special Programme  for  development  of  Roads  in  Left  Wing  Extremism affected  Area  (LWE)  and  Externally  Aided  Projects  (EAP).  NHs stretches not covered under any of the above schemes are taken up for  development  under  National  Highway  Original  [NH(O)]  works depending upon traffic density, condition of road and synergy with PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan.

Regarding  Accidents,  the  details  of  the  number  of  accidents and fatalities reported on NHs including Western UP during each of the last three years are as under: -

| 2023      | 2023       | 2024      | 2024       | 2025      | 2025       |
|-----------|------------|-----------|------------|-----------|------------|
| Accidents | Fatalities | Accidents | Fatalities | Accidents | Fatalities |
| 150,177   | 63,112     | 150,958   | 64,772     | 1,34,307  | 57,482     |

Figures for calendar year 2024 onwards based on latest eDAR (Electronic Detailed Accident Report) data.

All  NHs  works  are  carried  out  as  per  standards,  guidelines, manual,  code  of  practice  of  Indian  Roads  Congress  as  well  as specifications  for  Road  and  Bridge  Works.  Necessary  road  safety measures  inter-alia  include  provision  of  crash  barriers,  signage boards, foot over bridges, etc. are taken up during design, construction, operation and maintenance stages.

Further, Guidelines have been issued for regular safety audit of all NHs at design, construction, pre-opening stage of NH projects as well as on existing NHs for ensuring road safety.

Road Safety Audit is carried out for the independent assessment  of  newly  constructed  roads  before  opening  them  to commercial traffic. All identified road safety issues, including those related  to  road  signages  and  markings,  are  addressed  before  the road is opened to the public. Subsequently, during the operation of the project highway, assessment is carried out at regular intervals to  identify  safety  issues  that  may  have  emerged  during  operation stage  and  any  necessary  remedial  measures  are  taken  in  a  timebound manner. Besides this, accident data on all existing and new National  Highways  is  monitored  on  a  pan-India  basis  through  the eDAR   (electronic  Detailed  Accident  Report)  portal,  and  accident spots  are  identified.  Further,  field  officers  have  been  delegated powers  to take advance  remedial action on these identified accident spots, preventing them from being converted to blackspots.

Also, identified blackspots are rectified by carrying out shortterm  measures  like  road  markings,  signages,  crash  barriers,  road studs, delineators, closure of unauthorized median openings, traffic calming measures, etc. in a time bound manner. Further, long-term measures like improvement of road geometrics, junction improvements, spot widening of carriageway, construction of underpasses/overpasses, etc. are also taken as permanent rectification  measures  based  on  road  safety  audit  report  and  site conditions.

Furthermore, Government  has  formulated a multi-pronged strategy  to  address  the  issue  of  road  safety  based  on  4E's  i.e. Education,  Engineering  (both  of  roads  and  vehicles),  Enforcement and Emergency Care, details of which are placed at Annexure-III.
