Earlier on July 5, a culvert on a state highway connecting Narsinghpur to Narmadapuram had collapsed following the heavy rainfall over the past few days in Madhya Pradesh's Narsinghpur district. The culvert was built over the Sukhchain River near Bandesur village in Gadarwara subdivision of Narsinghpur district. Sub-Divisional Officer of Police (SDOP, Gadarwara) Ratnesh Mishra had said, "Due to heavy rain for 2-3 days, this culvert has been damaged, and it has collapsed into the ground. As soon as the information was received, the District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police (SP, Narsinghpur) gave the information to NHAI and the Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation for the repair work." He added that the administration had taken immediate steps to divert traffic and ensure public safety. On July 4, amid growing public outrage over landslides, house collapses, and severe environmental damage allegedly caused by unscientific construction practices on four-lane highway projects in Himachal Pradesh, hundreds of protestors gathered outside the Deputy Commissioner's office in Shimla. The protest was jointly organised by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) and the Himachal Kisan Sabha, demanding immediate relief, compensation, and legal action against construction companies such as Gawar, Bharat, and Singla, operating under the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
