National Highway Facts Analysis

The question asks to identify the statement that is not true regarding national highways in India.

Statement Analysis:

  • Statement 1: NH-8 is the shortest national highway in India. This statement is false. NH-8, which previously connected Delhi and Mumbai, is a major highway and was certainly not the shortest. Parts of it are now integrated into NH-48.
  • Statement 2: NHAI has the authority for the development, maintenance and management of national highways. This statement is true. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is responsible for the development, maintenance, and management of the National Highway network.
  • Statement 3: NH-47A is the shortest national highway in India. This statement is true. NH-47A, located in Kerala, was historically recognized as the shortest national highway, measuring only about 6 kilometers. It is now part of NH-85.
  • Statement 4: NH-44 is the longest national highway of India. This statement is true. NH-44, stretching from Srinagar to Kanyakumari, is the longest national highway in India.

Conclusion on National Highway Statements

Based on the analysis, the statement claiming that NH-8 is the shortest national highway is incorrect.
