NHAI begins safety audits for under-construction tunnels

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has embarked on a crucial initiative to conduct safety audits for under-construction tunnels across the country. This move aims to enhance safety measures and ensure the robustness of these critical infrastructural components.

The decision comes in the wake of the growing importance of tunnel networks in India's transportation landscape. The safety audits will cover various aspects, including structural integrity, emergency preparedness, and adherence to international safety standards.

This proactive approach underscores NHAI's commitment to prioritizing the well-being of commuters and the longevity of the infrastructure. Key factors considered in the audits include ventilation systems, fire safety protocols, and evacuation procedures.

NHAI's focus on safety aligns with global best practices and signifies a forward-looking approach to infrastructure development in India. The comprehensive safety audits are expected to set a benchmark for tunnel construction projects, fostering a safer and more secure transportation network nationwide.
