Gadkari Announces Action Against 11 Road Ministry Officials Over Highway Collapses
Road ministry officials were removed over highway collapses, with the government citing a need for accountability. The move comes after Nitin Gadkari, the road transport and highways minister, informed the Rajya Sabha of action against the officials. The decision affects 11 officials from seven states who were responsible for the collapses. Over-speeding was identified as a major cause of over 82,000 road accidents in India in 2025, according to Gadkari.
