In view of the unprecedented flood situation in Kerala, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has suspended user fee at three toll plazas in the state, the government today said.
The waiver has been made on the toll plazas at Paliekkara in Thrissur district, Pampampallam in Palakkad district and Kumbalam in Cochin, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways said in a statement.
The waiver came into effect last week and will continue till August 26, it added.
Many highways in the state are flooded, including the stretches of NH-544, close to Aluva, due to the unprecedented rains and opening of dams in several districts in the state.
Rains, floods and landslides in Kerala have killed 373 people since May 30, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said today.
Altogether 87 people were injured and 32 others went missing in the deluge which hit all the 14 districts of the southern state, it added.
