Toll collection at Paliyekkara

 "Reports from District Police Chief, Regional Transport Officer and National Transportation Planning and Research Centre (NATPAC) confirmed that potholes at the Perambra Eastern Service Road had been repaired, service road junctions had been levelled and tarred.

The Committee, after consulting NATPAC and the PWD, noted that while the Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM) standard adopted by NHAI was satisfactory, periodic overlays and routine inspections were essential

The report, however, stressed that overall progress on underpass construction remained considerably slow and that only after completion can there be a proper solution to the traffic congestion.

Kerala High Court says will allow resumption of toll at Paliyekkara subject to conditions - https://www.barandbench.com/.../kerala-high-court-says...
