THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The National Highway (NH) development in Attingal town has landed in trouble after Public Works Minister G Sudhakaran ordered his department to carry out the work only after discussing it with him as many works are being done without the knowledge of the state government.The government decided to temporarily stop the work citing that it was kept in the dark about the actual work being carried out on the NH stretch and also about the diversion of vehicles, including heavy vehicles, through narrow roads along the Thiruvananthapuram-Kollam stretch. Sudhakaran said the government was informed only about the works relating to Attingal town development, including widening of the road and construction of drainage, and not on widening the NH.
