Kerala to coordinate inter-departmental effort for faster road repairs

Kerala's Water Resources department has committed to working closely with the Public Works Department (PWD) and Local Self Government Department (LSGD) to expedite road restoration works across the state, according to the state's Water Resources minister.

The inter-departmental coordination is designed to eliminate bureaucratic delays and ensure faster completion of road repairs that have been affected by water-related damage and other infrastructure challenges. By pooling resources and streamlining approval processes, the three departments aim to enhance efficiency in project implementation.

The Water Resources department's involvement reflects the interconnected nature of infrastructure rehabilitation in the state, particularly following incidents where water management and drainage systems have impacted road conditions. The coordinated mechanism will enable better planning and resource allocation across multiple agencies.

The move signals the state government's commitment to restoring critical road networks that are vital for connectivity and economic activity. Officials indicated that the collaborative framework would help reduce project timelines while maintaining quality standards in reconstruction work.
