ANI reported that the officials of National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will inspect the road to assess any damage to the infrastructure. However, there is no word on when the carriageway on the expressway will open for traffic.

The farmers began leaving the protest sites after the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) – an umbrella organization of farmer bodies – suspended the agitation following the repeal of the Centre’s three farm laws and the government conceding to its other demands.

The farm laws were repealed by Parliament on November 29.
