National Highway 33 (NH 33) (previously known as NH 80) is a National Highway in India. It runs from Arwal to Farakka. The highway links Bihar to West Bengal via Jharkhand. This highway connects some major cities of Bihar such as Munger and Bhagalpur to the capital city Patna. This highway is known as the worst highway of India as the stretch between Sahibganj to Farakka is the most dangerous & full of Poth holes. This highway is also the narrowest highway of India as stretches from Arwal to Jehanabad, Biharsharif to Mokama & Rajmahal to Farakka are the hotspot for most Highway related accidents.
