NH79 Frequent accidents fatal and major accidents are ver often between the kattukottai bridge and Adayar Ananada bhavan.In this week alone 7 accidents occurred. Recently in July 2022 the roads were overlaid.As a result,the level of thar road got higher and mud road lower.As a result, two wheelers when sidelined by over speeding four wheelers,lost their balance and fell down with fractures. Myself is a victim in March 2019. It has been more than a month the imbalance between the thar road and mud road remains unrectified. A slope has to be made immediately to avoid more accidents like that.Please attend this immediately. Elango k Advocate 9444178379
