Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway mishaps claimed over 30 lives between Jan and June this year
Mumbai: Public works department (PWD) minister Shivendraraje Bhonsale told the Legislative Assembly that over 30 people died in road accidents on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway between Jan and June 2025. Bhonsale said that over 50 serious accidents occurred on the highway during this period. He mentioned that these accidents were due to the negligence of the driver. Bhonsale was replying to questions raised by Shiv Sena MLA Vilas Tare. "Mumbai-Ahmedabad National Highway No. 48 is under the care of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for maintenance and repair. NHAI has undertaken the work of white topping the entire stretch from Achchad to Dahisar (121 km). Currently, about 98% of the white topping work is completed. While the work was in progress, potholes and tyre marks were found in some places due to traffic passing over the newly laid concrete. Its repair is in progress by the contractor," Bhonsale said in his reply. "According to the police report, 50 serious accidents occurred between January 2025 and June 2025. It has been reported that the accidents occurred due to the negligence of the driver. So far, Rs 400 crore has been spent on the said road work. In view of highway safety, the works of three underpasses and ten pedestrian bridges (FOB) have also been implemented separately. Due to the delay caused by the contractor in the repair work, the contractor was debarred from the tender process for three months in April 2025, and if the work is not completed on time, strict action will be taken against the contractor," Bhonsale said.
