Aroor-Thuravur elevated highway: HC raps Collector, NHAI for inconvenience caused to pedestrians, motorists

The Hindu  

The Kerala High Court on Wednesday came down on the Alappuzha District Collector and the National Highways Authority of India for the inconvenience caused to pedestrians and motorists due to the construction work for the elevated highway on the Aroor-Thuravur stretch. Justice Devan Ramachandran orally observed that the Collector and the NHAI authorities were blaming each other for the traffic mess on the stretch. Those who travel with pilot vehicles do not know the hardships faced by people, the court said, adding that it was shocked to hear that altogether 36 persons had been killed in road accidents over the years on the stretch since the construction work began. The NHAI authorities took over the central portion of the road and did not make alternative arrangements for smooth traffic before the construction work started.
