The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) suspends toll collection on the Kanpur–Lucknow expressway following a road slippage reported over a 300-metre stretch, according to multiple outlets. NHAI attributes the action to safety concerns and takes steps under the project’s contractual and oversight framework. The authority also initiates action against several parties involved in the project, including the concessionaire PNC Infratech Limited. In addition, NHAI moves against the Independent Engineer and officials associated with construction monitoring and supervision. The suspension is part of NHAI’s response to the incident and its follow-up process, which includes accountability measures aimed at the entities responsible for execution and oversight. While details of the investigation and the specific penalties are not provided in the available summaries, the reports agree that tolling is halted temporarily and that NHAI is pursuing action against both the contractor and the supervision/consultancy stakeholders tied to the affected stretch.
