Summary:

By Express News ServiceTHIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Lack of streetlights on the Kazhakoottam-Mukkola stretch is becoming a matter of concern for commuters. As the Kazhakoottam- Mukkola stretch is under NHAI, the corporation does not have the authority to install streetlights in the area. Though the streetlights were installed, most of them are now defunct,” said Rajeev Krishnan, secretary of Prathidhwani which is a welfare organisation of techies. Therefore, we decided to use our funds but this is getting delayed due to the road widening work of the National Highway,” said Vishnu Nair, CEO of GTech. Streetlights are the need of the hour as the traffic is being diverted to the stretch due to the Kazhakoottam flyover construction..
