Campaign to ensure vehicles are not parked along NHs

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has launched a campaign to prevent vehicles from being parked along the Ennore Manali Road Improvement Project (EMRIP) roads and the Chennai - Tada National Highway. These vehicles typically occupy the shoulders and margins intended for moving traffic, according to a press release.

Over a 45-day period, patrol vehicles identified and instructed 350 trucks, vans, and other encroaching vehicles to vacate the roads. NHAI subsequently forwarded information about these vehicles to the appropriate Regional Transport Authorities and police authorities for further enforcement measures, which may include e-challans.
