A petition has been filed in the Kerala High Court against the delay on the part of the state government and the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) in implementing various provisions of the Road Safety Act-2007.
The petition also alleged the NHAI and the government had failed to remove unauthorised advertisements and flex boards along the national highways in the state. Kochi-native D B Binu in his petition said it is the responsibility of the state government to maintain and manage NH-47, including steps to ensure clear vision for motorists.
As per an agreement signed by the NHAI and a private agency for beautification of the Edappally-Vyttila stretch of NH-47, no advertisement/hoarding should be put up on the stretch, causing distraction to motorists. Austin Ekeler Womens Jersey
