PNC Infratech said that major damage was caused to about 5.0 m length of side (service) road of the Agra to Firozabad section of access-controlled Agra-Lucknow Expressway Project on August 1 by excessive stagnation of accumulated water due to heavy and incessant rains during the night of July 31. The company took the required rehabilitation measures on emergency basis and the damaged portion of the side-road was filled up the same day. The company further said that the above damage had not caused any disruption to movement of traffic on the expressway and vehicles were plying on it as usual. The Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority, the proponent of the expressway project, has asked RITES, a Government of India Undertaking, to conduct a detailed investigation into the damages and submit a report specifying the extent of damages, causes and remedial measures within 15 days. Shares of PNC Infratech closed flat at ₹157 on the BSE.
