Payyanur: The vigilance wing of the Police conducted a lighting raid at the Municipal Office and took the relevant records into custody yesterday. The raid followed a complaint alleging large scale corruption in the recent maintanance of the bypass road. The police action was conducted by Mr. Pokker DySP (Vigilance ). The gutters in this road was filled with mere soil without using tar and granite stones. The journey through this road has been horrible for the last few months. The people residing on both sides of the road have complained several times about the pathetic condition of the road which made their life difficult and staged a protest march to the municipal office recetnly. But no action was taken by the municipal authorities in this regard so far. The opposition raised this issue in the municipal council but the allegations were dismissed by the CPM lead ruling front. The vigilance police squad along with the muncipal engineer also inspected the bypass road .
