It happened to me too, when driving from Aligarh to Kasganj few weeks back. Steering response felt very strange as it was a hydraulic one (Pajero Sport). Whole road is laid very well especially considering it was the road less taken as it passes many villages in between the two cities. It was very surprising to see a two lane highway there. Kudos to govt While the majority of road is asphalt but nearing the villages the road laid is of concrete (for more durability). Although concrete work done by the contractor is very poor. Uneven slabs through the whole stretch.
