As barricading goes, roads left in wreck, need major repairs

Even as the Delhi Police nearly cleared out its fortifications at the Tikri and Ghazipur farmers’ protest sites with their JCB machines and cranes, they have left a trail of destroyed roads along the highways which will take time to repair — prompting the NHAI to raise concerns about the damage caused by the barricading and the protests.

The National Highways Authority of India has already written to the District Magistrates of both East Delhi and Ghaziabad, raising concerns of serious damage to the NH-9 there, which include tree bark cracks on the road along the protest site near Ghazipur.
