NHAI — Damage to the windshield of my car due to grass cutting work on NH 66

On the morning of Aug 13th, as we were driving from Mangalore to Udupi, in our Skoda Rapid( KA 19 MG 8938), somewhere after Padubidri, a stone from the grass cutting work being done on the divider hit our windshield which resulted in a huge crack.

On checking with Skoda service, we were told the windshield needs to be replaced. This costs Rs. 10, 000.

Please consider this case and compensate our loss.

Also, it's a sincere request to have a shield around the machine during grass cutting. Else, this may lead to loss of eye sight or even death in case of 2-wheelers.
