Unexpected Water Logging at A C Road Alappuzha

I just made a journey through the famous Alappuzha - Changanacherry (AC) Road few days back and really met with some surprise water logging on the road. The AC road is one of the best road in this part of Kerala and it is a long and straight stretch of road which connects Alappuzha with Changanacherry. The road is of high quality and driving along this road is a dream for all drivers.

Another thing that attracts people is the majestic natural beauty that is seen on either side of the road till it reaches Changanacherry. Both sides of the roads are made beautiful with the presence of long stretching paddy fields, toddy shops, occasional houses, rivers and boats. I was really enjoying the ride when suddenly I had to stop the car due to water logging. I am not sure how the water entered the road but I had to be careful while driving through the water.

The name of the place was Mankombu and the water made it difficult to walk on foot and I was lucky that I was inside a car and I carefully drove through the water till I reached the safe area. Such unexpected water logging and other issues can really create a negative impact on the tourism industry of Alappuzha and this needs to be fixed at the earliest. Hope that something will be done by the authorities to tackle the issue.
