NH-48 diversions near Khandsa on Sunday afternoon
The Story in Brief
Gurugram traffic police have issued an advisory for three temporary traffic blocks on the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway (NH-48) near Khandsa village on Sunday, 1 November 2026 afternoon. Traffic will be stopped or diverted for 15 to 20 minutes each time to allow Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPNL) to replace a damaged power transmission line conductor.
The conductor on the 66 kV Harsaru-Sector 35-Badshahpur line snapped on 18 July 2026, causing congestion. HVPNL is replacing it with a high-temperature low-sag (HTLS) conductor on a turnkey basis. Commuters have been advised to use the service road or Southern Peripheral Road as alternatives and to follow instructions from traffic personnel. Emergency vehicles will be given priority.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The three short diversions affect a key artery connecting Delhi and Jaipur, but the work targets a recurring vulnerability: the snapped conductor in July caused traffic chaos. By replacing it with an HTLS conductor on a turnkey contract, HVPNL is attempting a permanent fix rather than a patch. Commuters on Sunday afternoon face only brief delays, but the test will be whether the new conductor withstands future loads without snapping again.
