THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The installation of streetlights on the median of NH-66 bypass from Kazhakootam to Vizhinjam through the PPP model is likely to be delayed as the city corporation is yet to submit a proposal to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for approval.
Sources said the corporation had only sent a letter to NHAI seeking intervention to install lights by inviting private parties. Earlier, Lulu and Adani groups had come forward to install lights based on the Expression of Interest (EOI) invited by the corporation. As per the EOI, the private parties will be allowed to place advertisement hoardings on the light poles.
