NHAI would like to clarify that the video currently being circulated on social media is an old video related to an incident that occurred at approximately 06:40 hrs on 26 June 2026 involving an IOCL LPG tanker near the toll plaza.

NHAI deeply regrets the unfortunate incident. Preliminary findings indicate that the tanker allegedly collided with the bull nose of the divider before the toll plaza while attempting to maneuver the vehicle, resulting in LPG leakage and a fire that affected the tanker, toll plaza booths and the toll control room.

Teams from NHAI, the District Administration, Police and Fire Services responded immediately, bringing the fire under control and ensuring that the injured were shifted to the hospital. The swift and coordinated response of all agencies helped avert a much larger disaster.

In view of the incident, NHAI has issued a Show Cause Notice to IOCL, seeking an explanation regarding the circumstances leading to the accident and appropriate accountability.

NHAI urges all heavy vehicle drivers to maintain safe speeds, exercise utmost caution, and avoid driving under fatigue or drowsiness, especially during the early morning hours. The safety of road users remains NHAI's highest priority.

NHAI regrets the inconvenience caused to NH commuters due to the road surface cave-in at a location on the Delhi–Dehradun Economic Corridor following rainfall. The section has been restored and opened for regular traffic movement.

The incident occurred due to localized water stagnation, as the permanent cross-drainage system at the location could not be commissioned due to sustained resistance from local residents, who did not permit integration of the balancing culvert and instead used the culvert opening as a vehicular crossing. This prevented the intended drainage arrangement from becoming operational.

Following yesterday's incident, NHAI immediately undertook restoration works and has commenced construction of an interim parallel drain to ensure safe disposal of rainwater until the permanent drainage system can be commissioned. The affected location is under continuous monitoring to ensure safe and uninterrupted traffic movement.

Taking serious cognizance of the incident, Show Cause Notices have been issued to the concerned Project Director, Authority Engineer and EPC Contractor, while the Team Leader of the Authority Engineer and the Project Manager of the contractor have been suspended.

NHAI remains committed to taking all necessary measures to ensure resilient and reliable National Highway infrastructure.

साथ ही, एहतियात के तौर पर अन्य सभी समान जॉइंट्स का भी निरीक्षण एवं आवश्यक सुधार कार्य किया जा रहा है, ताकि भविष्य में ऐसी स्थिति ना हो।

NHAI would like to inform that the road surface cave-in at Km 55+480 on the Delhi–Dehradun Economic Corridor occurred due to water stagnation following rainfall, coupled with constraints in commissioning the permanent cross-drainage system at the location.

The affected stretch was identified during routine route patrolling in the early hours of 01 July 2026, and restoration works were immediately undertaken. The location was repaired on priority, ensuring safe and uninterrupted movement of traffic.

The balancing culvert at the location, designed to safely convey rainwater across the carriageway, could not be commissioned due to continued resistance from local residents, who have been using the culvert opening as a vehicular crossing. In addition, permanent slope protection and chute drain works remain pending owing to an ongoing land-related dispute, which has prevented execution of the approved drainage infrastructure.

As an interim measure, NHAI has commenced construction of a parallel drain over approximately 1.5 km long and is redesigning the drainage gradient to ensure safe disposal of rainwater until the permanent drainage system can be commissioned. The location is under continuous monitoring, and all necessary resources have been deployed to ensure safe and smooth traffic movement. NHAI remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of highway safety through timely maintenance and proactive asset management.
