Hill roads declared National highways by the NHAI are not completed as per the standard given by the IRC manual and code and specifications and no side drains as well as well as protection walls are being constructed on the hill side of the road and there is a danger of building cracks and collapse at the certain places where angle of repose not maintained in the cutting of hill profiles for which it seems that there is lack of planning and have aggravated the problems instead of solving even though there is no proper shifting of existing electric poles at certain points and the light duty electric poles are prefixed instead of heavy duty electric poles as required on the hill tracks due to variation of the grade and the distance interval of electric poles have also been ignored for covered placement even at the junctions by way and virtue of which loading moments have created torsional effects on the existing electric poles and are exerting for survival as required at an angle of 90 degree and may affect dangerous Further more no proper design of side drains have been followed and at the certain points no drainage works have been taken in hands and rain water is spreading over the road surface which may damage the shoulder as well as the surface of road The above position of road belonges to the NH Hamirpur Bilaspur portion Ghumarwin to Bhagher where natural topography and existing grades for planning of drainage as well as prefixing of the electric poles has been ignored for designing the shape and size of the proposed structure which may affect adverse if necessary correction and improvement have not done where it could be made easily but the NHAI has no explanation for why no study of drainage has been conducted and the prefixing of electric poles planned as per the survey and alignment required heavy duty on the sides of NH instead of light duty electric poles as fixed even though urban areas need to plan for a resilient infrastructure.
