Kerala switches on 1,100 lights on crash-prone Container Road after decade of demand

Authorities activated 1,100 street lights along 17-km NH 966A in Kerala, a ₹10-crore project addressing years of complaints over accidents, crime, and waste dumping. Over two dozen fatal accidents occurred in the past decade, making this a long-awaited safety upgrade. The move is expected to reduce nighttime hazards and improve local security, though impact metrics are not yet available.
