The incident’s footage was also posted by IFS Parveen Kaswan, who expressed disappointment. The incident happened in Kerala’s Randathani area of Malappuram district. According to the minister’s office, NHAI has been asked to provide a report.

According to his office, “the minister has sought strict action against the contractor who was assigned with the project.” The excavator and its driver have been detained by an Edavanna forest officer in the meantime.

Thomas Lawrence, the CEO of the Save Wetlands International Movement, filed a complaint about this with Nithin Gadkari, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, requesting that the offenders be punished. According to Lawrence, Gadkari’s office has agreed to take action after receiving the complaint in this regard.
