Local bodies demand setting up of quick response team

He says the formation of a quick response team has been pending with the NH wing for long. Despite the frequent caving in of earth and the subsequent disruption of traffic on the 12-km Thamarassery Ghat Road, a quick response team to meet emergency situations is yet to be put in place, local bodies in the area have complained. Local body heads from the area allege that the response of the NH authorities and the police to traffic woes during the monsoon has been lukewarm. The National Highways (NH) division of the Public Works Department (PWD), which is supposed to form the team, has been accused of cold-shouldering the demand, putting the entire responsibility on the Ghat Road Protection Committee. Puthuppady grama panchayat authorities say the pre-monsoon road renovation work was not carried out seriously by the NH division.
