This is to bring to your notice the pathetic and heavily pot-holed roads on national highway between Vapi and Mumbai. I had recently driven from Delhi to Mumbai and this was the worst stretch of road (or the lack of a motorable road) that I drove on.
Also, the condition of the toll booths and the approach roads are the worst on the route. Even with the monsoons, the road condition is inexplicable. The dividers had not even a single reflector on the route and on most of the Mumbai-Vapi stretch had no white markings for lanes or dividers. Why is there toll being collected when there is no road to drive on? It is shocking to say the least.
There were no directions or easily visible milestones. I have to say that as soon as I left Gujarat behind and entered Maharashtra, I could see how inefficient and despicable the administration in this state is. Mumbai being the capital is the same, with the same road conditions and traffic.
But I assume the highways are NHAI's responsibility, irrespective of the state they are in. Rajasthan and Gujarat had international standard roads but Maharashtra was the worst of the lot.
I appeal with anticipation of something done about this immediately. The Golden Quadrilateral is no longer golden because of such stretched of road.
