Kuthiran tunnel partially opened as Power Grid's trial run commences

THRISSUR: The Kuthiran tunnel in Thrissur was opened partially in order to facilitate the traffic as the trial run for laying Power Grid Corporation's underground cables began on Thrissur-Palakkad stretch. The heavy vehicles coming from the Palakkad region were allowed to pass through the tunnel road.

Though a cloud of dust was raised initially due to the passage of heavy vehicles, a fire force team intervened and settled the dust by sprinkling water. Meanwhile, officials said that traffic regulations will be imposed on Wednesday from 5 am to 5 pm in the evening. The trial run will come to an end by Wednesday.
