Motorists have warned people to get the pressure in their car tyres checked before they travel on the Nagpur-Shirdi stretch of the Hindu Hrudaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg, due to the incidents of tyres bursting on it. They have given this word of caution as summer will start soon.  

A motorist who travelled on the highway, tweeting under the handle Cleverlion on Monday wrote, “Anyone traveling via samruddhi highway kindly check tyre pressure and fill it with nitrogen air. As there are a lot of accidents due to tyre blast. I face the same. And there are no facilities nor any help line and emergency number. My vehicles both rear tyres burst one by one in some duration. Lucky got help from roadside farmers.” (SIC). It is said that filling car tyres with nitrogen greatly reduces the chances of them bursting.
