Supreme Court Questions NHAI on Electronic Tracking of Parked Vehicles on Highways
The Supreme Court questioned why the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has not implemented an electronic surveillance system to track stationary or parked vehicles on highways, citing safety concerns after a November 2025 accident in Rajasthan that killed 15 people. The court noted NHAI's resources and ongoing patrolling but emphasized the need for technology to prevent accidents caused by illegal parking. The matter is scheduled for further hearing on October 13, including applications on highway encroachments.
