The Thamarassery police have imposed daytime restrictions on multi-axle vehicles and heavy goods carriers on the Thamarassery pass for at least a week to prevent traffic bottlenecks. These vehicles will be diverted via the Kuttiyadi pass. The decision aims to ease congestion, particularly with New Year celebrations approaching, and address issues like hampered emergency vehicle movement and rash driving. Local committees have called for a dedicated recovery van and widening of specific hairpin curves.
