The state government plans to install a system that will tell the exact location of accidents on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, apart from trying to add one more lane to the high-speed carriageway that has turned into a death trap for many. It will also ensure quicker commission of the under-construction missing link to ease traffic on the ghat.

The assurance came from  Home Minister and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis during the discussion on the increasing number of accidents on highways. The discussion on Monday was prompted by a calling attention motion raised by the opposition members on the fatal accident that killed the former MLC Vinayak Mete on August 14 on the E-way.
