Why it matters
SH 19, Jhargram–Balasore State Highway, crosses the border between West Bengal and Odisha. A state road that runs through more than one state has no single owner — West Bengal PWD and Odisha Works Dept each maintain the stretch inside their own state, so which department to contact depends on where along the road you are.
