On record
A steel girder fell onto a pickup van during overnight construction at Eramalloor on November 14, 2025, killing the driver. An NHAI panel found work "carried out in violation of Indian Roads Congress (IRC) safety norms," with serious security lapses by contractor Ashoka Buildcon; the road had stayed open during active girder-lifting. NHAI ordered a wider safety audit of other NH-66 stretches.
The official record states: "NHAI expert panel: work was "carried out in violation of the Indian Roads Congress (IRC) safety norms," with "serious security lapses" by the contractor."
