New Delhi, April 5 – Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Executive Chairperson of Biocon Limited, raised concerns about the condition of NH44, a key IT corridor connecting the city to Hosur, on Sunday.
In a post on social media platform X, she criticised the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for what she described as poor design and maintenance along the stretch.
Mazumdar-Shaw highlighted that the medians and barriers along the highway are "terrible," while the shoulders remain unpaved, creating an "eyesore" for commuters.
She questioned whether NHAI considers this section as part of its reputed track record of road infrastructure development across the country.
"While NHAI boasts of its road infrastructure across the country, why is the country's key IT corridor, NH44 (formerly NH7) – the Hosur Road – so poorly designed and maintained?" she wrote on X.
"It's an eyesore – the medians and barriers are terrible, and the shoulders are not paved," Shaw noted.
Despite several complaints over the years, she pointed out that the authorities have not responded, directly tagging Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari and NHAI's official social media handle.
"Despite several complaints over several years, there is no response. Is this what NHAI considers its proud track record?" she mentioned.
Meanwhile, the country's leading women industrialist raised serious concerns last year about garbage emerging as a "serious malaise" in the country, particularly in major metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and others.
In a post on X in October last year, she also criticised the respective municipalities and state governments for their gross ignorance and negligence of the issue, which has been reaching alarming levels lately and posing a serious threat to the well-being of citizens.
