COIMBATORE: An afternoon after commuters issued 'divorce invitations' for a damaged 1.03km stretch of the Mettupalayam Road (NH67), officers of the nationwide highways department on Tuesday started carrying out maintenance at the stretch.
Commuters and residents stated the stretch from VG Hospital to Vadamadurai at the Mettupalayam Road have been identified as an twist of fate susceptible zone and was once expanded and re-laid at a value of Rs 9 crore. But, they stated mere 5 months later the outside of the street had peeled off in lots of puts and the uneven road have been the reason for injuries in recent times.
To snatch attention to this issue, commuters and activists on Monday allotted ‘divorce invitations’ for the 1.03km stretch, ‘the daughter of public’, from the Mettupalayam Road (NH67), the ‘son of the nationwide highways department. They had sought that the street be re-laid on the damaged parts after the outdated floor is scraped off in order that the new floor holds neatly.
An afternoon after this, the nationwide highways department jumped into motion and began the restore paintings.
M Deventhiran, secretary of the Road Safety Association, who had organised the unconventional ‘divorce’ protest, stated officers began initial paintings on Tuesday morning and have been analysing the stretch to seek out the cause of peeling off of the top layer of asphalt at several puts.
A national highways department authentic stated they'd begin the restore paintings on Tuesday night time. “We would scrape off the parts of the street’s outdated floor where the newly laid asphalt has peeled off and would relay the damaged parts all along the stretch,” stated the authentic. The authentic stated they'd most probably end the restore paintings on Tuesday night time and if they couldn’t, they'd elevate it over to the following night time and end it.
