The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has initiated measures to prevent waste dumping in the drainage systems along National Highway 66 (NH 66) in Thiruvananthapuram. This action is part of a broader effort to maintain the cleanliness and functionality of the highway infrastructure.

NHAI's new strategy includes installing barriers and signage to deter unauthorized dumping and improve waste management practices along the highway. These measures are aimed at protecting the drainage systems from clogging, which can lead to flooding and other environmental issues.

The initiative reflects NHAI's commitment to preserving the quality of national highways and ensuring that infrastructure remains in optimal condition for users. By addressing waste disposal problems, NHAI seeks to enhance both the safety and aesthetic appeal of NH 66, contributing to better public health and environmental sustainability.

In conclusion, NHAI's proactive approach to managing waste along NH 66 represents a significant step towards maintaining highway infrastructure and promoting a cleaner, healthier environment for the Thiruvananthapuram region.
