KOZHIKODE: Dilapidated Kuttiady-Wayanad Ghat road is giving nightmare to the motorists. The NH division is now allowing heavy goods carriages on the Thamarassery ghat road, Kuttiady ghat roadduring night hours, he added.In the meantime, when contacted the PWD officials, they said that the repair work of the road would be carried out immediately. However, lack of proper maintenance and repair works resulted in the damage to the road.An absence of proper lighting and police patrolling have also made Kuttiady ghat road a risky stretch for vehicles from Karnataka and other states. The condition of the road also worsens traffic congestion on the stretch as the vehicles are unable to move at a steady pace.“Kuttiady-Wayanad road is one of the two connecting roads to Wayanad. As heavy vehicles are banned on the Thamarassery ghat road during the daytime, the Kuttiady stretch is being depended on by truck drivers during the daytime,” said P Mohammed, a resident.The surface work of the road was carried nearly five years ago under the Kerala State Transport Project..
