Protection walls have to built at many places on the 18-km Kuttikanam-Chappathu stretch
The works on the Kuttikanam-Chappathu stretch of the hill highway have been affected by the severe shortage of crushed granite and other construction materials. The assistant engineer of the Public Works Department (PWD), Peerumade division, said that the works on the 18-km stretch were progressing at a slow pace now. The granite used to be brought from a crusher unit at Anakkara, near Kumily. When the unit was closed, the material was procured from units outside the district. However, supply fell short as protection walls had to be constructed at many places on the hilly stretch.
