After tyre punctures on the Samruddhi Expressway in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, MSRDC clarified that the damage was caused by aluminum nozzles used in epoxy grouting repair work, not nails. The incident punctured tyres of three vehicles, but no casualties were reported. MSRDC has removed the nozzles and initiated action against the contractor.
