REVEALED: Road and bridge inauguration postponed once more in idukki | Vintage Vibes

Inauguration of the Munnar-Bodimettu stretch of the Kochi-Dhanushkodi National Highway and the new bridge at Cheruthoni across the Periyar downstream of the Idukki reservoir were postponed again.

The inauguration of the projects were postponed due to the unavailability of Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways . National Highways Authorities of India (NHAI) assistant executive engineer Rex Felix said the inauguration of the projects were scheduled for Monday.

Officials earlier had announced that Mr. Gadkari and Union Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways V.K. Singh will be visiting Munnar on November 6 for the inauguration of the two major projects in Idukki. This is the third time the road and bridge inaugurations were postponed, says officials.
