Local residents report that this divider has been broken for quite some time, leading to multiple minor accidents, particularly during the night when visibility is low. Drivers often find themselves unintentionally driving onto the divider due to its poor condition and lack of visibility.

In addition to the damaged divider, the road itself is uneven and riddled with large potholes, especially during the monsoon season when heavy rains worsen the road’s condition.
