Drivers, locals struggle to handle unexpected vehicle breakdowns, accidents The absence of an effective 24x7 vehicle recovery service on the Thamarassery Ghat Road is affecting the handling of vehicle breakdowns and accidents on the busy mountain pass. Inter-State lorry and truck operators and drivers of heavy goods-vehicles are the worst-affected by the absence of the emergency service.
The delayed repairing assistance, including towing support, replacement of damaged mechanical components, multiple tyre punctures and recovery of dead engines, also leads to traffic snarls that last hours on the route. Many a time, the recovery activities are carried out with the support of the Ghat Road Protection Committee members and the police.

Thiruvananthapuram: The LDF government in poll-bound Kerala presented a welfare-oriented budget on Friday, hiking social welfare pensions, revising the salary of government employees and giving relief for farmers.
It also made hefty allocations for higher education, employment, and the digital economy.
Though finance minister Thomas Isaac took a record three hours 18 minutes to read out the budget for 2021-22 fiscal, the house only passed the vote-on-account for the first four months of the fiscal as the tenure of the current government will end in the coming months.
