Kerala SHRC Orders Road Widening and Traffic Probe Amid Kochi Metro Congestion
The Kerala State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has directed local authorities to address traffic issues in Kochi. It ordered the widening of a 200-meter stretch of Chilavannur Bund Road to improve connectivity and reduce congestion. Additionally, the SHRC instructed the District Police Chief to investigate traffic congestion caused by Kochi Metro construction barricades in the Palarivattom area and to propose urgent remedial measures. Both matters involve joint inspections and reports due by late October.
