Illegal highway dhabas to face eviction as NHAI cracks down on encroachments

Illegal dhabas and eateries along the National Highways will be evicted soon to prevent the parking of trucks outside.

This comes at a time when the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) took a major initiative to curb unauthorised parking and encroachments along National Highways to enhance safety and ensure obstruction-free movement.

“Unauthorised parking of vehicles, roadside encroachments and unregulated activities along National Highways pose



significant risks to road users and adversely impact traffic flow and safety. 

To address these challenges, NHAI has identified 595 critical locations of unauthorised parking (along with longitude and latitude details) across different states and is working in close coordination with state governments, district administrations and enforcement agencies for removal of unauthorised parking from National Highways,” the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has said in a statement.
