Underpass work on NH 544 lags behind

THRISSUR: Traffic congestion continues to plague Amballur, especially during the peak hours, though the service roads were repaired soon after the High Court order.

For the past two months, the construction of underpasses at five locations – Amballur, Koratty, Perambra, Muringoor and Chirangara – has been lagging behind. At Amballur, the construction was stopped citing weak terrain of soil, resulting in traffic congestion.
