Steps were initiated to immediately undertake corrective measures at all the 39 black spots identified on various highways to make Anantapur district accident-free, says Collector M. Gowthami.
Addressing the district-level road safety committee meeting here on Friday, the district Collector said that the top priority was addressing the black spot issue. She informed the police and allied wings to speak to the contractors and promptly complete road repairs.
“Highly accident-prone zones and black spots should be notified by placing signboards and deploying men at the vulnerable junctions. Priority should be given to reducing road accidents on national highways by installing speed-breakers wherever necessary. The officials concerned should also hold periodic meetings and conduct inspections on this issue,” Ms. Gowthami said.
