Hyderabad: The Hyderabad- Bijapur National Highway (NH-163) has become an accident prone road. This highway has witnessed several accidents and so many people have lost their lives. The main causes for these accidents are that the road is too narrow and officials have not taken measures to widen the road and there are also too many dangerous turns which are causing accidents. No caution boards. December 02, seven members lost their lives in an accident on this highway at Malkapur.

The NHAI expected road expansion works to complete in the budget of 740 crore, but there is no progress of road expansion of road works as of now.
There are many dangerous turns between Langarhouse and Maneeguda, which has become the main cause for the accidents on this highway.
