pothole, the footage appeared online. Due to a pothole on the National Highway
near Nedumbassery in the Ernakulam district, a 52-year-old scooter rider lost
control and fell to the ground. He was then knocked over by a vehicle.

The Kerala High Court
took notice of the situation and ordered the National Highway Authority of
India (NHAI) to repair the potholes right now. The District Collectors will
issue orders with regard to any road where potholes are discovered and take
necessary action against the jurisdictional Engineer, contractors, or any other
person who may be responsible, according to a decision by the single bench of
Justice Devan Ramachandran. The District Collectors serve as the chiefs of the
District Disaster Management Authorities. color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">
