He added, “The road infrastructure we are putting in place with our partners will warn people about accident-prone zones, organize traffic and control the overall crime and hazard rates. With continuous monitoring and maintenance, we are confident this project will deliver great benefits to RNAIPL workers, employees of other companies and members of the public.”
