Government advisor clarifies viral video of 'thermocol' in Delhi-Katra Expressway barrier
A video circulating online features a man removing what looks like 'thermocol' from a gap in a concrete barrier on the Delhi-Katra Expressway. Kanchan Gupta, a Senior Advisor at the I&B Ministry, criticized those spreading the clip. He clarified that the material is actually expanded polystyrene, which is commonly used in highway projects for expansion joints to manage thermal shifts and stop the concrete from cracking.
