IndiaA section of the Ganga Expressway in Uttar Pradesh suffered damage due to heavy rains just two months after its inauguration. The affected area included a link road connecting the expressway to the Sonic toll plaza in Unnao. Heavy rainfall caused erosion along the embankment, leading to parts of the carriageway collapsing and damage to nearby infrastructure like traffic signs and drainage systems. Emergency repairs were conducted, but further erosion raised concerns about the stability of the structure. Locals claimed that preventive measures against soil erosion, such as grass cover, were insufficient or absent. Patel Infrastructure, the project manager, acknowledged that such issues might occur after initial rainfall and stated that repairs would be made.
