New Delhi: The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has sought proper assessment of the damage to the Delhi-Meerut Expressway stretch at UP-Gate due to the 11-month-long protests by farmers\u2019 outfits by a joint team which would also take stock of road safety concerns before traffic is allowed on this section.
\nNHAI has written to both Ghaziabad and East Delhi administrations suggesting that the team should have representatives from local administration, police, PWD or any technical wing, NHAI, the private concessionaire and supervision consultant of the project.
\n\u201cWe have written to the district administrations seeking this assessment as the stretch had been heavily barricaded by police and occupied by the protesting farmers. We don\u2019t know the extent of damage done to the stretch. We had informed the local administration on earlier occasions that the impacted stretch is in \u2018danger zone\u2019. We have to be sure that the stretch is safe for commuters,\u201d said an NHAI official.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
