ALAPPUZHA: While the controversy over the delay in opening the Vyttila flyover is yet to die down, another one is brewing in Alappuzha \u2014 over the opening of the NH 66 bypass. If the unavailability of the Chief Minister\u2019s date prolonged the Vyttila flyover opening, the Alappuzha bypass inauguration is getting delayed because of the unavailability of the Prime Minister\u2019s date. Public Works Minister G Sudhakaran hinted that, if the PM\u2019s date remains unavailable, the state government will open the bypass.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had written to Union Minister of Surface Transport Nitin Gadkari a few days ago. Two months ago, the PMO evinced interest to attend the opening ceremony for the Alappuzha bypass. We have been awaiting a letter regarding the inauguration from the central government before the assembly election notification. If anybody is trying to delay the opening, the state government will open it,\u201d Sudhakaran told TNIE. Meanwhile, BJP state committee member K Soman said the party has taken all steps to enable the opening of the bypass as early as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
