A.M. Ariff, MP, has written a letter to Public Works Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas seeking a vigilance inquiry into the relaying of the National Highway (NH) 66 between Aroor and Cherthala in the district, citing deteriorating condition of the highway stretch. Mr. Ariff stated that the stretch was reconstructed with a three-year guarantee, but had developed potholes in various places in less than one-and-a-half-year. "The road work was carried out using new technology. The condition of the highway stretch started to deteriorate a year after the relaying. It is now in a pathetic condition. Contractor and employees are responsible for it," he said.
