🚨Key NHAI Road Collapse Incidents & Findings: 📌NH-66 (Kerala) Crisis(2025-2026): Multiple collapses, particularly in Kooriyad and Kasaragod, were linked to constructing embankments over low-lying paddy fields and wetlands without proper engineering, leading to massive soil erosion and structural failures. 📌NHAI Action (2025): The NHAI took strict action, suspending the project director and initiating steps to penalize contractors for lapses, such as Megha Engineering and Infrastructure Ltd. (one-year debarment) and Shivalaya Construction Ltd.. 📌Safety Concerns: A 2025 report identified 55 instances of collapse or damage on various NHAI projects (roads, bridges, tunnels) in 5 years, highlighting widespread, recurring infrastructural issues. 📌Investigation Findings: Inquiries revealed that many failures, such as on NH-66, were due to violation of Ministry specifications, poor slope protection, and inadequate drainage systems. 📌Recent Incidents (2026):  A section of NH-19 near Memari (West Bengal) suffered a collapse on the Kolkata-bound lane in March 2026, necessitating emergency repairs
