Dilapidated Kumarichantha-Ambalathara road a nightmare for resident, commuters

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Kumarichantha-Ambalathara road used to be one of the busiest stretches in the city with the Kumarichantha market and several shops functioning along the roadside. However, due to lack of maintenance for the past four years, the road has turned into a nightmare. It was not tarred after the Kerala Water Authority (KWA) finished the pipe laying work. The road has lead to health issues for the residents and vendors.

According to residents, the condition of the road worsened last year. Though the drainage pipes were laid two-three months back, there has been no update on when the road maintenance work would begin.
