NHAI Suspends Project Director After Revising Stance on Rajasthan NH-25 Rumble Strip Safety
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) suspended a Project Director after reversing its initial denial of safety concerns regarding rumble strips at a median opening on National Highway-25 near Prathvipura village, Rajasthan. Social media users challenged NHAI's claim that reports were misleading, sharing visuals from the actual site. Following a review, NHAI admitted incorrect information was shared and is undertaking corrective measures to meet road safety standards. The rumble strips were installed at a local representative's request to enhance safety.
