Illegal shortcuts endanger drivers on Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway

Illegal shortcuts on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway are endangering motorists due to unauthorized breaches in the central dividers. This poses a significant safety risk. These dangerous shortcuts, created for convenience, allow vehicles to cross carriageways illegally, leading to near-collisions and accidents, as seen recently near Palghar. Authorities have been alerted, but little action has been taken to address the issue. Local activists and road safety advocates are demanding immediate intervention, including closing the illegal cuts and conducting safety audits, to prevent potential tragedies on the NH48.
