Accidents Caused Due to Road Construction

Accidents caused by road construction and maintenance are not new to hear as it is one of the major causes of this mis-happening. Road accidents due to ongoing construction work are the result of poorly marked construction signs or presence of some stone or other such material on the road that is not clearly visible to the driver. The responsibility of such accidents is entirely on the shoulders of the authority involved in the construction of that road.  It is not the fact that only person driving the vehicle is subjected to the accident because of road construction, but also the workers who are doing the construction get injured by the moving vehicle is considered under this. Hence major hazards are because of vehicle crashes, being struck due to falling objects, not so visible construction sign boards at night etc.  Also road construction along with other construction is considered as one of the most dangerous land-based work to cause accident.

Tripura is one of the seven north eastern states in India where construction of roads and bridges are going on at full swing. These are made to make the tribal area more accessible to the rest of the country. Along with the maintenance of existing roads the replacement of timber bridges in the state is also being done. The Border Roads Organization got the Tripura tender for the construction of National Highway from Manu in Tripura to Sairang in Mizoram. Total length of the highway is 135 Km in the state of Tripura. Also many road repair tenders have been approved by the Government of India and given to the Border Roads Organization.

Border Roads Organization was raised in 1960 for the speedy development of roads in North East parts of India by the visionary Pt Jawaharlal Nehru that. BRO is the symbol of quality and nation buildings. It has the credit of not only making and maintaining new roads but also to construct roads in the most difficult climate and terrain. The Border Roads Organization has several such credits to its hat and proudly serving the north east part of the country.

Along with this, Indian Government keeps on calling the road repair tenders for the maintenance of existing roads at different parts of the state. The repair of footpath is also considered under this and collectively it comes under Public works for Road and Building construction.

Because of such a huge road construction and development activities it is hard to say that road accidents are uncommon in this part of the country. In order to avoid road construction accidents, certain rules must be followed. These are:

  • Construction zones must be clearly marked so that vehicles come to know about the construction from a distant place.
  • Speed limit must be clearly defined in the construction zone to avoid such accidents.
  • Clear and recognizable signs must be given on flaggers.
  • Cones at construction site must be placed rightly at the beginning as well as end of the construction zone.
  • Reflectors should be used for night.
But if the concerned department or company has not used the signs properly and you become a victim of road construction accident then you will receive compensation.

But as the name of the accident itself is very daunting so be very cautious while driving through any construction zone in any part of the world for your as well as your family’s safety. You can also find latest Tripura Tenders on our official site Tenders.IndiaMart.com

State is the hub of industries, small to large companies and business houses. Major ports in Gujarat are the reason of this acting as a main center of trade and commerce since time immemorial. One of the first port across the world i.e. Lothal is located here. Three rivers i.e. Narmada, Tapi and Sabarmati are also the charm of the state. Along with this, it is a mineral rich state in India. Gujarat thus has all the natural resources that are required by the state to flourish. Along with this people here are very business oriented. Therefore with the collective efforts of all, economy of the state is the one of fastest growing economies in the country. Gujarat is responsible for 39% of the India's industrial output, it does 10% of the total mineral production, 67% of petrochemical production and 40% of all the pharmaceutical products are manufactured in Gujarat.

Now if we further look into the cities of the state, then Ahmedabad, Surat, Baroda(Vadodara) and Rajkot are the major cities that churns out different industrial and consumer product for self consumption as well as for export. Surat is the fastest growing cities in India and Ahmedabad is at third number in terms of growth. Major industries in these cities are related to cotton, textile, chemicals, petrochemicals, gems and jewelry, dates, and peanuts. Also these cities are rich in agriculture and there most of the business works are through Gujarat tenders. Fertilizer is an indispensible part of agriculture that has numerous pest control tenders, fertilizer tenders and other Gujarat tenders.

Oil and natural gas are also present in abundance in the cities of Kalol Khambat and Ankaleshwar. Owing to this, these are at top of oil and natural gas production in India. Reliance Petroleum Limited, operates an Oil Refinery at Jamnagar. It is the largest grassroots refineries across the world. Reliance has also given an edge to the state with its special economic zone in Gujarat. The state is also the ranked number one in gas-based thermal electricity production. A thermal power station adorns Dhuvaran where coal, gas and oil are used.

Period of 1960-90 was the booming period of Gujarat when it had proved itself as a leader in numerous industrial sectors. Since then there is no looking back. Among all the private industries and growing sectors, Government of Gujarat has played a huge role in the overall development of the state. One of the major developments undertaken by the Government is the establishment of solar energy plant in the state with the capacity of 716 MW Solar Power. This has generated employment for at least 5000 people.

Key Government departments usually publish various Gujarat tenders. Gujarat State Seed Corporation Limited, Gujarat State Seep & Wool Development Corporation Limited, Gujarat Energy Development Agency, Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers Company Ltd, Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited and Road and Building Department are few to name among the pool of others. All this results into great economic development.

Along with industrial developments, urban and infrastructural developments are also part of Gujarat for which it has 7 Municipal Corporations and 12 Urban Development Authorities operating in 159 Municipality areas.

Therefore in conclusion it can be said that Gujarat is an industrial and business oriented state that has also been blessed by nature with minerals, gems, rivers, ports and other natural resources to grow further.
