NHAI Lawyer's Remark on Traffic Jam Leads to Notice
Imagine a super long traffic jam where some people unfortunately died.
A lawyer was arguing in court about why this happened.
The lawyer, representing the people who built the road, said that people shouldn't have been traveling for fun during the holiday, as if it was their fault.
This made a lot of people angry.
The lawyer's boss said they didn't agree with what the lawyer said and gave them a warning.
Now the court is still looking into what happened with the traffic jam and who is responsible.
A lawyer's controversial statement during a court hearing regarding a traffic jam led to outrage.
The lawyer, representing the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), suggested people were at fault for holiday traffic.
The comment was made during a High Court hearing about a 40-hour traffic jam on the Indore-Devas bypass.
NHAI issued a show-cause notice to the lawyer, distancing itself from the remarks.
The incident occurred after three deaths during the traffic congestion.
