Delhi-Dehradun Expressway: Just two months after its inauguration, huge potholes have appeared on the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway. A video of the road is going viral on social media. It can be seen that there are many potholes in the middle of the road. Vehicles are passing by at high speed nearby. In such a situation, there is a danger of a major accident. The person who made the video has also told about the damage caused to his vehicle. The rim of the victim’s van was bent after hitting the pothole.
The important thing is that monsoon has just arrived in Delhi and Uttarakhand. There is a possibility of less rain this year. Despite this, the condition of the expressway has deteriorated even before the rains. If the situation continues like this, the condition of the expressway may become worse after four months of rain. In such a situation, there is a possibility of increase in the number of accidents.
