Chaitanya Usha Laxman Patil, a resident of Patni-Kasu village in Pen taluka, said he undertook the “road satyagraha” to personally document dangerous stretches, accident-prone black spots, traffic congestion points and other safety issues affecting commuters along the highway.
The report was submitted to Aanchal Dalal, Superintendent of Police of Raigad, outlining observations made during the 490-km walk over 29 days.
