The problem started after National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) dropped a plan to set up an underpass at Khandsa. A detailed project report (DPR) of NHAI has suggested three underpasses and one foot-over bridge on the 7-km stretch between Rajiv Chwok and Kherki Daula toll plaza. The DPR has suggested an underpass each on Hero Honda Chowk, Narsinghpur and Kherki Daula and an over-bridge near Ananj Mandi.

"As per the earlier plan, NHAI was to construct four underpasses, including one near Khandsa village. We have given an ultimatum to the Haryana government as well as to NHAI to include Khandsa also or else we would be forced to stage an agitation," said Nathu Singh, sarpanch of village Mohammadpur Jharsa.
