The Haryana Road Infrastructure Protection Act, 2017 safeguards state highways, district roads, and associated public infrastructure across Haryana, excluding national highways. It applies to all individuals, businesses, and local authorities using or operating adjacent to these transportation networks. The law strictly prohibits illegal encroachments, unauthorized temporary or permanent constructions, dumping debris, discharging sewage, placing unapproved advertisements, and damaging physical assets like drains, streetlights, or signage. By empowering state officials to immediately halt violations, clear obstructions, levy fines, and recover restoration costs, this legislation ensures safe, smooth transit and protects critical public transport infrastructure from harm.
