Call to streamline traffic on S.N. Junction-Thripunithura stretch
The Hindu
‘Road near metro work sites being blocked at night as part of civil work’
Residents associations and motorists have demanded that Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) take urgent steps to streamline traffic on the Pettah-SN Junction-Thripunithura railway station stretch where the Kochi metro work is under way, and prevent accumulation of slush and waterlogging on M.K.K. Nayar Road near the alignment. The Thripunithura Rajanagari Union of Residents Associations (TRURA), which has been at the forefront of agitations demanding road connectivity between the metro’s terminal station proposed near the railway station and the road leading from Hill Palace to Thripunithura town, expressed concern at traffic hold-ups on the Pettah-S.N. Junction stretch, especially in the vicinity of a building and transformer. A litigation is going on, and it has resulted in there being no footpath and drainage, while the road narrows down, said TRURA president V.P. Prasad. Motorists have been complaining of how they have to take alternative routes when the road near metro work sites is blocked at night as part of the civil work.
