“We will introduce a new scheme for truck drivers under which modern facilities will be developed along the national highways.”
Modern driver facilities along highways are being developed through NHAI’s Wayside Amenities programme (600+ locations every 40-60 km, including trucker dormitories, parking, workshops, clean toilets and food courts) and the dedicated driver-centric "Apna Ghar" rest stops (e.g. 21 built on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, managed by IOCL, with beds, kitchens and CCTV security for as little as Rs 112/night).
