As the roads adjoining the busy East Coast Road are getting damaged due to the overloaded lorries carrying granite boulders, the Department of Highways has finally cracked the whip against these trucks by requesting the police to register cases against the violators.
In a requisition made to the police attached to the Pazhavoor Police Station, S. Krishnasamy, Assistant Divisional Engineer, Department of Highways, has said the 8.90 km-long road connecting Irukkanthurai – Koththankulam - Sanganaapuram – Ganapathipuram Junction had been badly damaged by lorries overloaded with granite stones. Since, two-wheelers and buses using this 3.75-meter-wide stretch are often involved in accidents and breakdowns due to the bad road, steps are being taken by the Department of Highways to make it motorable.
