Residents in an unnamed locality have reported cracks in their homes following blasting activities, but the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has denied any responsibility.
Residents in a residential area have raised concerns after noticing cracks in their houses following recent blasting operations carried out by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
The National Highways Authority of India has responded by denying any responsibility for the damage, stating that the blasting was conducted in accordance with safety protocols and that the observed cracks are unrelated to its activities.
Local authorities are investigating the structural integrity of the affected homes and the exact cause of the fissures. Preliminary reports suggest that the cracks may stem from underlying soil instability rather than the blasting itself.
NHAI has pledged to cooperate with the investigation and to provide further details once the findings are available. Residents are advised to seek professional assessment of their properties while the inquiry continues.
