SC questions NHAI over lack of CCTVs at toll plazas, raises highway encroachment concerns
The Supreme Court has questioned the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on why closed-circuit television cameras are not deployed at toll plazas across highways. The court also flagged concerns over encroachments on national highways during the proceedings.
The court's inquiry follows a suo motu case filed in November 2025 after a road accident in Phalodi where a tempo traveller collided with a stationary trailer truck. The incident prompted the bench to examine broader safety and infrastructure issues on national highways.
