Summary:
According to the residents, the road’s condition worsened as the monsoon started. “The pothole gets deeper day by day,” says Abhilash Prabhakaran, who runs a car accessories shop at Toll junction. Now, the vehicles from Edappally side have to take an U-turn at Koonamthai and those from Kalamassery side need to go till Edappally junction, which is a major inconvenience. According to M K Jacob, the traffic policeman on duty at Toll Junction, the divider was closed to avoid traffic congestion. Many commuters, mainly two-wheeler riders, still jump the cordon and take a U-turn at Toll junction, worsening the situation,” he says..
