Roads in Kerala under running contract to be inspected from September 20, says Minister for Public Works P. A. Mohamed Riyas

Special squads led by top officials of the Public Works department (PWD) will carry out inspections on PWD roads under running contract so as to assess their upkeep from September 20, Minister for Public Works P. A. Mohamed Riyas has said.

The inspections will be conducted on 12,322 km of roads in all 14 districts under the running contract system for maintenance, Mr. Riyas told reporters after inaugurating the National Conference on Resilient Infrastructure (NCRI 2022) organised by the PWD’s Kerala Highway Research Institute (KHRI) and IIT-Palakkad here on Friday.

These are roads where the defect liability period (DLP) has expired but where the government has put in place a system to ensure their continued upkeep.
