The Supreme Court, hearing the Phalodi highway accident case, strongly questioned NHAI over safety failures, fog-related risks, and illegal roadside dhabas. The Court stressed accountability and examined whether NHAI can shift responsibility to local authorities.
The Supreme Court has taken suo motu cognizance of the tragic Phalodi accident that claimed 15 lives, citing bad road conditions and lack of parking space, and has directed NHAI to submit a detailed report on the incident.
