The poor planning in shifting the water pipelines along the national highway stretches where the widening work is now in full swing has started troubling hundreds of local residents. Recurring pipe bursts during the widening work are reportedly interrupting the drinking water supply in many households in this summer season.
The delay in repairing such damaged pipelines has also been troubling many households. Many residents in Vadakara and Koyilandy areas allege that there is no proper planning in utility shifting or pipeline changing to ensure trouble-free road construction work.
