Source-derived summary

National Highway 8 (NH 8) is a National Highway in India running from Karimganj in Assam to Sabroom in Tripura. It ends at Maitri Setu, a bridge which connects to the R152 in Ramgarh in Chittagong, Bangladesh.

It is not to be confused with former NH 8 (Delhi-Jaipur-Ahmedabad-Mumbai), which has been renumbered NH 48. The highway is being constructed and maintained by the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL).

Before renumbering, the whole highway formed a part of NH 44.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “National Highway 8 (India)” as national highway in India. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around National, Highway and India.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 82-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with National, Highway and India providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “National Highway 8 (India)”, the useful work is to connect “national highway in India” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
