Build Bad Roads, Pay ₹25 Lakh! India Cracks Down On Contractors After Fatal Crashes | Vantage

India has introduced stricter penalties for highway contractors when construction defects lead to repeated fatal accidents. In this video, Firstpost explains how the new rules could impose fines of ₹25 lakh for every fatality after a second accident linked to the same defect, rising to ₹50 lakh per death if another such accident occurs in the following year. The video examines the deadlines contractors must meet to fix dangerous stretches, the possibility of contract termination, and the scale of India’s road safety challenge. With road accident deaths rising and thousands of accident-prone black spots identified on national highways, it explores whether financial penalties can improve accountability and make roads safer. Hem Saroya tells you more.
