Contractors in Kerala who failed to repair roads, that are damaged before the guarantee period, will be blacklisted, the Kerala government has said. Ports and Fisheries Minister K Babu asked contractors to repair the roads at the earliest. The minister also directed authorities to complete the rehabilitation of people who have suffered losses in the landslide at Kadvoor near Kothamangalam last year.
In Kerala, officials concerned have proposed to take immediate measures to repair roads along the national highways in Kerala. A proposal to widen the narrow road along the Munnar-Devikulam-Poopara-Bodimedu on NH-49 will be submitted to SS Nahar, chief engineer, the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. SS Nahar was in Kerala on a two-day inspection spree and checked the Munnar stretch on June 29 morning.
