This crackdown aims to ensure the well-being of both consumers and the surrounding environment, emphasising the importance of adherence to established guidelines.

Officials from the NHAI have initiated inspections and audits to assess the compliance status of petrol pumps in the region thoroughly. This stringent approach is intended to address any lapses promptly and maintain the highest standards of safety and operational integrity along the crucial Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway.

Petrol pump owners are urged to rectify the identified issues within the stipulated time frame to avoid further legal action. The NHAI's proactive measures underscore its commitment to enhancing the overall safety and regulatory compliance of infrastructure facilities along key national highways.
