During the meeting, there was a discussion about fixing 138 black spots located on the National Highways passing through Punjab because which a large number of people were losing their lives in accidents at these spots.

Rinku said all these black spots should be rectified as soon as possible, especially in the winter season, as more road accidents happen due to fog.
