Hello
The incident happened on September 13. Baby Antony of Chiyyaram was riding pillion on a motorbike with her husband at MG Road when the latter lost control of the two-wheeler trying to negotiate a pothole.
The massive pothole is a permanent fixture near Chandragiri bridge on Kasaragod-Kanhangad road, built by the now blacklisted RDS Projects.
Ever since it was inaugurated in January 2010, the collective has been brainstorming ways to make Kochi clean, green, healthy, and efficient and acting as a think-tank that supports the authorities with productive inputs.
The court has warned that if prompt action is not taken in the matter of filling up potholes on the road, then District Collectors will have to be summoned.
Marambilly native Kunjumuhammad succumbed to the injuries suffered after his bike fell into a deep pothole at Chalackal on the Aluva-Perumbavoor route.
The 17 kilometre stretch in Kuttamasseri was repaired last month with the help of a special fund allowance by the Finance Department.
Though a perennial topic of concern, potholes became a heated matter again after the death of Hashim, a Manjali native, who fell into a pothole while riding his two-wheeler at Nedumbassery.
The accident happened in front of the famed theatre company Kerala People's Arts Club.
The repair works at many places were carried out without a road roller and using substandard tar.
