The NHMP has issued the notification as a direct response to the viral claims, confirming that no ban has been imposed on this vehicle for motorway travel in the country

The notification said, “A baseless and misleading claim is circulating on social media, stating that a specific vehicle (Alto) has been banned from entering the motorway. The Motorway Police would like to clarify that this news is not based on any credible or official source and holds no truth. The public is urged not to trust or spread unverified information. For accurate and authentic updates, always refer to official sources of the Motorway Police.”

The false claims seem to have gained momentum after a tragic accident where a Suzuki Alto was severely crushed by a fully loaded 12-wheeler truck. The graphic visuals of the accident circulated widely online, reigniting concerns about the safety of small vehicles on highways.
