As many as 50 emergency booths installed on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad national highway to be useful in times of emergency, now lay dead and dysfunctional. Called Save Our Souls (SOS) booths, they come with a button that when pressed alert emergency services to rush to the spot. But an on-ground investigation by this mid-day reporter has unearthed shocking conditions, where even the telephones installed inside these booths have been stolen.
According to statistics, around 30,000 vehicles ply on the highway daily, and on a mere stretch of 120 km between Dahisar checknaka and Gujarat border, about 250 accidents take place on average every year.
