NHAI Denies Irregularities in Himachal Forest Clearances

NHAI Denies Irregularities in Himachal Forest Clearances

Imagine roads are being built in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh.

Some people said the builders, NHAI, didn't get the right permission to cut down trees.

NHAI says this isn't true, and they followed all the rules.

They had to get special approvals from the government for the Shimla Bypass project.

Also, heavy rains caused big floods that destroyed parts of the main highway.

NHAI worked quickly to fix the roads, letting people travel again in about two weeks.

They are also working on making the roads even better and safer for the future, including new tunnels and raised roads.
