Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has announced an ambitious goal to eliminate all potholes from India's 1.46 lakh kilometer national highway network by the end of this year. Potholes have been a major cause of accidents in the country. They are now being addressed through short-term contracts on highways that frequently develop potholes due to insufficient maintenance. Additionally, the government is working on a policy to ensure no potholes exist on any national highway across India.
