So, this month, the number of deaths have reduced, he said. </p>.<p>He informed that the NHAI is putting cautionary boards near Ganangur and Kaniminike toll plazas in a week. They have floated tenders for erecting cross barriers, for building two foot-over bridges near Mandya district and four near Ramanagar. They will come up with 97 bus shelters and toilets. They are taking measures and are coming up with proper entry and exit points. </p>.<p>He added, "The NHAI team inspected the Expressway on July 17, 18 and 19.
