The New Indian Express Kozhikode
|May 22, 2025
"The landslip took place at a site where a hill had been excavated for ongoing NH construction. The absence of a proper drainage system caused the mud and debris to enter nearby homes," said Biju, Kuppam resident.
After the protest halted vehicular movement, police personnel reached the spot to manage traffic and divert vehicles from the affected area.
Later, Taliparamba RDO T V Ranjith, tahsildar P Sajeevan, panchayat president T Sheeba and others reached the spot. In the evening, NHAI authorities and representatives of the contractor company held discussions with the residents. The residents dispersed after assurances from the NH Authority that their project manager and an expert inspection team would visit the site promptly.
