A 43-year-old businessman and his driver were killed by a speeding cab on Mumbai's Bandra Worli Sea Link in a sad event. When the accident occurred on the north-bound road, the businessman, Amar Manish Jariwala, and his driver, Shyam Sundar Kamat, were attempting to save a bird. On the internet, shocking CCTV footage from the crash has surfaced.

According to media reports, Jariwala was travelling to Malad via the Bandra-Worli Sea Link route when the tragedy occurred. Suddenly, a kite collided with the automobile, prompting Jariwala to order his driver, Kamat, to come to a halt. They both descended onto the busy Sea Link Road to save the injured bird.

Jariwala scooped up the injured bird when Kamat stopped the car in a corner. A speeding car on the same route slammed into them as they were checking on the bird. The hit was so powerful that the two soared into the air and landed flat on their backs.

Both were rushed to Lilavati Hospital in the city, where Jariwala was pronounced dead and Kamat was in critical condition. The driver, on the other hand, died during treatment a few days later.

Accessed by IANS, the data mentions that the last highest per day speed was registered in 2018-19. During the year, there was a speed of 29.74 km a day, and a total of 10,855 km roads were constructed. 
 
In 2019-20, a the National Highway construction speed had been 28.04 km per day, and 10,237 km road was constructed during the period. 
 
The National Highway construction showed a remarkable growth during 2017-18 with 26.93 km per day speed compared to 22.55 km in 2016-17 and 16.61 km in 2015-16. A total of 9,829 km roads under National Highways projects were constructed during 2017-18, 8,231 km in 2016-17, and 6,061 km in 2015-16 km. 
 
In 2021-22, the government has fixed a target to construct 12,000 kilometres of National Highways. 
 
The Road Transport Ministry, in its Annual Report (2020-21), has informed that 2020-21 was a year for consolidating the gains that accrued from major policy decisions taken in the previous five years, a time for monitoring of ongoing projects, tackling road-blocks and adding to the already impressive pace of work achieved last year. 
 
The ministry took a decision to complete all ongoing projects that had been awarded up to 2015-16, and placed the highest ever target of construction of at least 11,000 kilometre of National Highways, while aspiring to upscale the construction of about 12,000 km of National Highways as against 10,237 km achieved during 2019-20.
