The monsoon have started in full flow in Kerala and it has been raining heavily for the last few days. Almost all of the low lying lands in Kerala have been affected by water logging and people are having a hard time. Another major issue with the monsoon in Kerala is that almost all the major roads would get transformed into bad shape and make traveling a nightmare.
Today also I noticed that some of the major roads have started showing deterioration and hopes that within a week all these roads would be bad enough to create fear among the travelers. But there are certain roads that do not get into any trouble during the monsoon and these roads are also having one of the highest traffic rate. It makes really confusing how some of the roads sustain the monsoon while some other turn into pieces.
This seems to be mainly due to the corrupted construction of the roads and the authorities have to be blamed for this. They take a huge amount of bribes from the contractors and as a result the contractors are forced to cut down on the expenses for the road taring and maintenance purpose. Hence they end up doing road maintenance of low quality and as a result the roads would not be able to sustain the climatic conditions.
Really feel frightened to travel through these roads in the coming months when the monsoon would be at its best. The pathetic conditions of the roads in Kerala during the monsoon season would be inviting more serious accidents and the pathetic state of the roads would remain till the month of December. It would be only after December when the authorities wake up and do some hasty patch works on the roads, making it more uncomfortable for traveling.
