Members of the Dakshina Kannada District Congress unit held a demonstration and conducted a mock funeral procession protesting the pathetic condition of Kochi-Panvel National Highway 66 between Baikampady and Nanthoor in the city on Friday, September 22.
Speaking on the occasion, district Congress president K. Harish Kumar termed National Highways Authority of India’s (NHAI) claim that funds were not available for highway upkeep after the closure of the toll plaza at NITK-Surathkal as rubbish. The NHAI should have maintained the highway in a good condition, he said.
