The points I am making are very few: 1. The documents on NHAI website indicate that width of lane of indian highways is 3.625 m. 2.

Originally posted by Vasu: Yes Ratnendra, a lot of women with the name Sati did not immolate themselves, but it is widely attributed that the immolation by Sati, the wife of Shiva is the mythological history of this practice.
