New Delhi: The National Highways Authority (NHA) has taken further action on a report that toll plazas in the country could not be controlled despite the introduction of a fast tag system. Authorities found that the main reason for this was that the Toll Plaza authorities were trying to smuggle the vehicles by accepting the money directly. Based on this, the toll plaza rules were revised.
At toll plazas, if the queue extends more than 100 meters, vehicles will be allowed to pass free of charge until they reach that limit. The NHAI clarified that a vehicle should not be in the toll plaza for more than 10 seconds. Each toll line will have yellow stripes to ensure a 100-meter limit. If the vehicle exceeds this limit, it must be transported free of charge. The revised guidelines also stipulate that responsible behavior should come from toll booth employees.

Thiruvananthapuram: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has announced more concessions in lockdown. Sanitation items for women will be allowed to be delivered from manufacturing facilities to medical shops. He said shops repairing mobile phones and computers would be allowed to open for two days.
The CM said in a press conference after the Covid review meeting that the two-day opening of shops for eye examiners, spectacles shops, hearing aid fittings, prostheses repair and repair companies, gas stove repair shops, and mobile and computer repair shops would be allowed. It is a matter of concern to the community that the number of deaths has not decreased even two weeks after the second Covid wave reached its peak and the spread of the disease has started declining. This has been explained before. At a time when the number of patients is at an all-time high, the number of deaths is on the rise due to the deteriorating health status and deaths among the infected. Experts say it could take up to four weeks for the death toll to drop significantly.
From the outset, we have adopted the policy of slowing down the spread of the disease and keeping it below the limits of what the health system can afford. So there is no need to worry more about the spread of the disease than in other areas. The primary responsibility to save people’s lives must be emphasized in the best possible way.
It is human nature for lockdown concessions to be misused. The population density of Kerala is almost double the national average. So we need to make sure that there are no behaviors or activities that could lead to the spread of Covid, with or without a lockdown.
Covid defense products such as masks and sanitizers were earlier ordered to be sold at government-mandated prices. However, the police are taking action after receiving complaints that these are being sold at inflated prices in many places. A case has been registered against three pharmacies in Kasaragod, Cherkalam, Manjeswaram, and Badiyadukka for selling such items at prices higher than those fixed by the government. A case has been registered against an institution in Thodupuzha.
In the Thiruvananthapuram district, Covid confirmed that the information provided to the relatives of the patients in the hospitals was communicated promptly and the response to the information center started at the General Hospital and the Medical College Hospital was excellent.
