Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has announced that the government plans to implement the Bahu Balli Cattle Fence scheme along highways in India to prevent cattle from crossing the road and causing dangerous accidents that result in the loss of human life.
Gadkari said the fence will be 1.20 meters high and will be installed on Section 23 of NH-30 as a comprehensive solution. The minister tweeted that this installation will serve as a demonstration before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Chhattisgarh.
The minister said the cattle fence, constructed using bamboo, offers a fully effective and environmentally friendly solution. He said the bamboo is treated with creosote oil and coated with HDPE, making it a stronger alternative to steel.
The fence has a fire rating of Class 1, ensuring safety, and aligns with the principles of AatmanirbharBharat which aims to make all highways sustainable and minimize harm to wildlife and cattle, he added.
