A rolling barrier guardrail system has been installed on the Nahan-Kumarhatti stretch of the NH-907A by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). This is the first such system installed in the country under a project of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
Sharp curves often lead to fatal accidents on this stretch. The system is meant for such roads. In case of an accident, it prevents vehicles from going off the road and brings them to a halt by absorbing the shock energy through spinning rollers, said an NHAI official.
The barrier is clearly visible to the drivers due to its noticeable colour and self-luminescence. It will help minimise casualties and loss to the vehicles.
“The barrier has been set up as a pilot project. This ingeniously engineered system will prevent fatal injuries especially in the hilly areas” wrote Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, while sharing pictures of the system on his Instagram account.
He wrote, “In line with PM Modi’s vision of zero tolerance towards road accidents, our government, by adopting world-class technology is committed to make Indian roads safer than ever.”
Sirmaur DC RK Gautam said the barrier had been installed over the most vulnerable 208-metre-long stretch in Nahan.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising four eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the paper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
