Ranchi: To ensure smooth and uninterrupted travel during the monsoon season, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has launched a special campaign to clean, repair, and strengthen drainage systems along major national highways in Jharkhand.
Under the initiative, NHAI teams have started extensive drainage maintenance and road upkeep work on key highway stretches, including Ranchi–Ramgarh, Ranchi–Jamshedpur, and Ranchi–Daltonganj routes, along with several other important national highways across the state.
Officials said the objective of the drive is to prevent waterlogging, improve rainwater flow, and protect road infrastructure from monsoon-related damage. Special attention is being given to cleaning clogged drains, repairing damaged sections, and ensuring the proper functioning of drainage networks.
