In an interesting turn of events, a woman who was declared 'brain-dead' at a hospital in Bareilly, came back to life after a car she was travelling in struck a pothole, as her husband claimed on Wednesday.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has announced that the construction of the new 4-lane, double-tier elevated corridor from Chennai Port to Maduravoyal, being built at a cost of over ₹3,500 crore, is progressing in full swing and is scheduled for completion by November 2027.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is contemplating discontinuing cash transactions at National Highway fee plazas across the country from April 1, 2026, with all toll payments proposed to be processed exclusively through digital modes such as FASTag and Unified Payments Interface (UPI).

The Himachal Pradesh PWD team, impressed by NHAI's slope protection work, studied the ongoing slope protection work on the Kalka-Solan four-lane.

In his petition, Saravanan contended that the prosecution alleged he had facilitated the hiding of Surjith in a quarry after the crime. He pointed out that the distance between the crime scene and the alleged hideout exceeded 15-20 kilometres and that 20 to 25 CCTV cameras were installed along the route.
