Summary:
GMR officials said the team conducted a survey last month and identified 79 unauthorised illegal access points on the National Highway between Zirakpur and Lalru. During the survey, the team found that various establishments like dhabas and factories have come up along the National Highway illegally. These establishments are safety hazards for traffic plying on the highway as they allow illegal access and parking of vehicles, the officials said. The officials stated that they had also appealed to all roadside establishments to close illegal access activities at their level and apply for legal access to their establishments. Following the directions of the NHAI, the GMR had even served notices on encroachers in the past, but to no avail..
