New Delhi, Jul 3 (PTI) State-owned NHAI has taken several measures for flood preparedness and providing emergency response on national highways across the country to tackle waterlogging during monsoon, an official statement said on Wednesday.
Taking a multi-pronged approach to provide effective solutions in both hilly and plain regions, the statement further said NHAI field offices are in close co-ordination with state administration and officials to undertake inspections of national highway stretches.
