Adani's Hazira Port unveils world's first steel slag road
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. (APSEZ) has inaugurated the world's first steel slag road within a port facility at Hazira Port . This 1.1-kilometer stretch, connecting the Multi-Purpose Berth (MPB-1) to the coal yard, marks a new global standard in industrial waste for high-performance infrastructure. The innovative road utilises processed steel slag aggregates, a significant by-product of steel manufacturing, showcasing a viable and environmentally conscious method of transforming industrial waste into durable, long-lasting infrastructure. The project, developed as part of Phase-II of the Bulk & General Cargo Terminal (BGCT) expansion, is a collaborative effort between APSEZ, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research - Central Road Research Institute (CSIR-CRRI), and the Union Ministry of Science & Technology. Adani officials highlighted that the road's flexible pavement design, specifically curated by CSIR-CRRI, not only enhances its load-bearing capacity and longevity but also contributes to reduced construction costs and a diminished environmental footprint. This initiative is a direct alignment with the "Waste to Wealth" mission and underscores APSEZ's unwavering commitment to environmentally responsible port development. While this marks India's third steel slag road overall, its distinction as the first ever constructed inside a port globally firmly positions India and APSEZ at the forefront of sustainable maritime infrastructure development.

Why Pedestrians Can't Just Be An Afterthought
New Delhi: As India debates how to make its roads safer, experts at the National Road Safety Summit turned the spotlight on something often overlooked in city planning — people on foot. Pedestrian-centric road infrastructure and adherence to Indian Roads Congress (IRC) guidelines, along with the critical role of road engineering, took the centre stage. A slide in the background set the tone for the discussion — it showed what an ideal road should look like: 360-degree visibility, clear lane markings, walkable footpaths, well-maintained vegetation, and smooth merging lanes. Speakers highlighted challenges such as inadequate signage, overgrown vegetation affecting visibility near crossings, and the dominance of vehicle-centric planning. "Engineering plays a crucial role in reducing fatalities, but it can only contribute up to 20% in crash prevention," said Dr S Velmurugan, chief scientist at CSIR-CRRI. "But engineering alone isn't enough. Crashes occur not only due to poor engineering but also due to a multitude of factors encompassing the other 4 Es. These include enforcement issues, lack of road user education, emergency care not available within the golden hour of the crash and poor environment. " He pointed out that India's national highways have nearly doubled, from 70,000 km to 1.44 lakh km in the last 12 years. Yet in cities like Delhi, pedestrians, cyclists, e-rickshaw and two-wheelers account for 75-80% of fatalities. "We need realistic targets and a systemic shift," he said One major concern got repeated mention — non-adherence to not having plantation for at least 120 metres at the median openings as well as at the intersections of the divided carriageways. Discussions also covered blocked or minimised zebra crossings, worn-out markings, and footpaths that are either missing or encroached upon. "Pedestrian infrastructure is routinely compromised," Velmurugan said. "We need an inclusive approach that respects every user's right to safe passage." A question brought attention to jaywalking on the Delhi-Meerut expressway, despite iron grills, questioning people's mindset and justifying the vegetation and iron grills. Dr Mukti Advani, senior principal scientist at CSIR-CRRI, said: "At many such locations, there is no pedestrian infrastructure. You can't blame behaviour when design fails." Children were flagged as especially at risk. "Over 50% of child traffic deaths happen on highways, and 36% in cities, often near intersections," said Syed Hubbe Ali, a health specialist at UNICEF India. Swantantra Kumar of 3M India added: "Safe school zones must anticipate child movement, with speed limits and signs marking entry and exit points."
