On May 6, a team from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) attempted to close an illegal highway cut in Kokhraj area of Kaushambi district, Uttar Pradesh, India, created by local dhaba owners to attract customers. This unauthorized cut posed significant safety risks for motorists. During the operation, NHAI incident manager Pradeep Kumar and his team were confronted by the dhaba owner, who arrived with approximately 50 unidentified individuals. The group allegedly verbally abused and physically assaulted the NHAI team, forcing them to stop their work. Following this incident, Kumar filed a complaint at the Kokhraj police station, leading to the registration of an FIR against the dhaba owner and the unidentified assailants. Kokhraj police have initiated an investigation and are committed to taking appropriate action against those found responsible.
