Alappuzha: Frequent accidents at the Aroor-Thuravoor elevated highway construction site have triggered a local protest against what residents describe as "unscientific" construction practices. The protest aims to halt ongoing construction work, demanding urgent safety measures.

Locals allege that iron rods and other construction materials have repeatedly fallen from the bridge onto vehicles passing below. They accuse the construction authorities of complete disregard for human safety.
