NHAI Terminates Fee Contract Over Misconduct
The NHAI, which takes care of India's national highways, decided to end its contract with a company called Skylark Infra Engineering.
This happened because the company's workers were reported to have been mean and even hurt a person using the highway.
The incident took place at a toll plaza called Bara Fee Plaza on the highway between Lucknow and Sultanpur in Uttar Pradesh.
The NHAI made this decision to ensure that people using the highways are treated well and safely.
NHAI terminated the contract with M/s Skylark Infra Engineering Pvt Ltd for user fee collection at Bara Fee Plaza.
The termination followed an incident of alleged assault on a National Highway user on January 14, 2026.
The incident occurred at the Bara Fee Plaza on the Lucknow-Sultanpur section of NH-731 in Uttar Pradesh.
NHAI emphasized the importance of proper conduct and safety for National Highway users.
The decision was made to ensure that such misconduct does not happen in the future.
