In Kozhikode district of Kerala, about 1,000 km of roads that were damaged due to the recent rains will be repaired on a war-footing within the next 15 days by spending Rs 72 crore. The State government has doubled the fund allocated to carry out the repair works from Rs 36.7 crore to Rs 72 crore considering the extensive damage caused by this year’s monsoon on the district’s roads.
The State Minister for PWD VK Ibrahim Kunju on September 13 said that the road works covering 979 km will be carried out even during the Onam holidays considering the emergency nature of works.
Ibrahim Kunju also announced a slew of projects to improve the district’s road infrastructure including the widening of the 8.4 km Mananchira – Vellimadikunnu Road at a cost of Rs 600 crore under the Speed Kerala Project.
