Territory  (UT)  -  wise  details  of  major  deficiencies  on  NH  stretches observed since 2019 along with status of its rectification works and action  taken  against  contractors,  concessionaires,  consultants  etc. are annexed. Actions against defaulting agencies have been taken up as per the provisions of the Contract/ Concession agreement in cases of deficiencies/ damages, such as termination of contract agreement, levying  of  penalties/  liquidated  damages,  debarment/  blacklisting, declaring as non-performers etc.

Remedial work to repair or reconstruct damages during construction or in the Defect Liability Period (DLP) is the responsibility of the Contractor/ Concessionaire at their own cost as per provisions of  contract  agreement  except  in  those  cases  where  the  Contract Agreement has been terminated in which case the securities provided are forfeited.

Road  accidents  have  many  causes  and  are  often  the  result  of interplay  of  various  factors  like  human  error,  road  environment  and vehicular condition.

Rectification of black spots is a continuous process and temporary measures are taken on immediate basis. Government has taken  steps  for  immediate  short-term  measures  on  black  spots  like road  markings,  signages,  crash  barriers,  road  studs,  delineators, closure  of  unauthorized  median  openings,  traffic  calming  measures, etc.

Out  of  total  16,542  blackspots  identified  on  National  Highways (NHs) in the country, short-term rectification has been completed on 14,138 black spots.

Long-term  rectification  measures,  as  recommended  by  road safety  audit  reports,  are  implemented  only  at  locations  deemed necessary. Further, long term rectification works includes improvement of road geometric, junction improvements, spot widening of  carriageway,  construction  of  underpasses/overpasses,  etc.  which involve  pre-construction  activities  such  as  land  acquisition,  forest clearance and utility shifting which takes significant time. Accordingly, long-term measures have been completed at 6,649 black spots,  while  4,077  black  spots  have  been  assessed  as  not  requiring such long-term interventions.

Generally, it is observed that rectification measures contribute to reduction in the rate of accidents.
