Once the flood waters recede and the highway becomes operational, a ‘green corridor’ would be created by reserving one lane to transport relief material swiftly.

A ‘green corridor’ on the Pune-Bengaluru National Highway will be created to transport relief material to the flood affected in Sangli and Kolhapur districts, Pune Divisional Commissioner Deepak Mhaisekar said here on Saturday.
