Officials promise ₹17L, expressway protest ends
Local residents blocked the highway in protest, causing a 20-kilometer traffic jam that stranded thousands, including some political leaders.
The demonstration ended after officials promised ₹17 lakh in compensation, a contractual job for one member of each family, and dairy booths for each victim's family.
Police are still searching for the driver.
