Summary:
A meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Tom Jose has given the nod to the PWD to adopt modern technology for slope stabilisation and to strengthen vulnerable areas. The PWD had also used soil stabilisation technology in the 5.9-km corridor near Adoor recently. Slope stabilisation is a system for effectively managing erosion from disturbed surfaces. The plan is to complete the slope stabilisation in three years. Talks are on to rope in the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) as consultant as it has vast experience in using modern technology for slope stabilisation in NH corridors, Jammu and Kashmir, and Northeastern States, official sources told The Hindu..
