NHAI Emergency Support: There is a relief news for crores of passengers traveling on National Highways and Expressways across the country. Now you will not have to wait long in case of vehicle breakdown or tire puncture on the highway. National Highway Authority (NHAI) has taken a big step towards providing better facilities to the passengers.

Under the new system, preparations are being made to provide services like vehicle repair and puncture repair at the wayside amenities developed along the highway. This will provide immediate help to people facing sudden technical problems on the road.

Why are these facilities being increased on the highway?

During long distance travel, problems like vehicle breakdown, battery down or tire puncture often arise. Many times, due to no mechanic being found nearby, passengers have to wait on the roadside for hours. This problem increases especially at night.

To reduce this problem and provide immediate assistance to the passengers, NHAI has decided to further strengthen the highway facilities.

What are wayside amenities?

Wayside amenities are facilities that are developed keeping in mind the needs of travelers along the highway. Rest areas, toilets, parking, food courts and other basic facilities are already provided here.

Now, it has been planned to start vehicle repair and puncture repair services at these centres, so that passengers can get many facilities at one place.

Passengers and transport sector will benefit

The biggest benefit of this decision will be given to those people who regularly travel on the highway. Along with private vehicle drivers, truck and commercial vehicle operators will also be able to get immediate assistance in case of vehicle breakdown.

This will not only save time but will also reduce the number of vehicles stranded on the road. Experts believe that this will further improve the safety system on the highway and also reduce the risk of accidents.
