Concerned citizens have alleged that about 5 km stretch of Kochi-Panvel National Highway 66 between Kulur and Baikampady has become a death trap for motorists with multiple craters and potholes following the apathy of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
Terming the road “Highway to Death”, Surathkal Tollgate Virodhi Horata Samithi Convener Muneer Katipalla said on Saturday that despite potholes and craters surfacing year after year during the monsoon, the NHAI has remained a “mute spectator”. Within a fortnight of this year’s monsoon becoming active, the stretch is again sporting massive craters, he said.
