Pathetic condition of Salim Rajan Road

KOCHI: Heavy rain that lashed the city recently exposed the poor quality of road relaying work undertaken in Kochi. Large potholes have been formed on many stretches of major roads. Outbreak of Covid-19 has forced people to give up public transport and use private vehicles, including two-wheelers and cars, and motorists struggle to drive through the pothole-filled stretches.
"It was following the high court intervention in October 2019, the road owners like Kochi corporation and public works department (PWD) undertook road relaying works. The local bodies were given time till January 31 to complete road works. But once the monsoon began, the relayed roads started getting damaged. The road owners and their contractors should be made accountable for the poor quality in road relaying works. No guarantee is being provided for the relayed roads," said Ranjith G Thampy, who had earlier filed a petition in the high court seeking steps to save Marine Drive.

Citing the stretches of Chittoor Road between Pullepady Junction and Rajaji Road and the road leading from AL Jacob railway overbridge to Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium, Thampy said there has been no permanent solution for the potholes.
"When these areas were pinpointed, the corporation put red earth and crusher metals to cover up the damage. And when it rains, the red earth got washed away," said Thampy.
The repeated demand to construct quality roads in the city have fallen on deaf ears. Neither the road owners nor their contractors provide guarantee for the road relaying works. Reports of damaged roads surface every year during the monsoon. Though it's known that sufficient provisions should be provided for drainage along the roads, there has been no sincere effort in this regard. The existing drainage network often remains clogged, resulting in waterlogging.
"The local self-government department and PWD end up spending huge amounts for relaying roads every year. If durable roads are constructed, there would not be a need to meet these expenses every year. Road works is a fertile area for corruption. Therefore, neither politicians nor officials want to have good quality roads which can withstand bad weather conditions," said Thampy.
Meanwhile, C P Ajith Kumar of Suburban Travels -- who had approached the high court citing the pathetic conditions of Kochi roads -- pointed out how agencies like Boarder Roads Organizations (BRO) was engaged in road infrastructure works in inhospitable and far-flung areas.
He said that when technical know-how and manpower is available to construct road networks in most treacherous terrains and climatically harsh regions, why is it not possible for Kochi corporation, greater Cochin development authority, PWD and national highways authority of India (NHAI) to construct good roads in urban centres?
The Covid outbreak is being taken as an excuse for not relaying and reconstructing roads.
"If the road owners are not taking an initiative to construct durable roads in the city, we will be forced approach the court," said Kumar.
