Another Accident on Perandapalli–Kobachandram Stretch: Air Brake Failure Risk Repeats

விளக்கம்

A lorry and four cars were involved in a chain-collision today on the steep Perandapalli–Kopachandram stretch near Hosur. No fatalities were reported.
The recurring issue continues: many drivers descend in Neutral to save fuel, causing low engine RPM, insufficient air-compressor output, and eventual Air Brake failure.

Safety experts and residents urge the National Highways Authority to impose mandatory 2nd-gear movement, similar to Thoppur Ghat, to prevent further accidents.
Public criticism grows as NHAI has not acted despite repeated warnings.
