Kochi, March 6

Kerala the state with a distinctive charm and elegance is very well known for its vast expanse of scenic beauty and traditions. But apart from all these features and attractions, these days Kerala is making news for the growing number of vehicles the state is adding to its traffic everyday. Daily about 1300 new vehicles join the busy roads of Kerala making the roads over crowded and congested.

With such a jump in the vehicle density in Kerala, the state has moved much further than other largely urbanised states. In Kerala 10,358 vehicles are there per sq km, and each day about 1276 new vehicles including 870 two-wheelers gets registered. Every year the number of vehicles on Kerala roads is increasing at a great pace.

In the growing vehicle density the major share is of the two wheelers which count for 2,418092, while car counts for 567294 and rest remains the public transport vehicles. Ernakulam the buzzing commercial hub of Kerala accounts the most number of vehicles which comes to 669509 vehicles. Meanwhile the capital of the State 

All these figures are a major concern for this heavenly abode, with such an increase in the vehicle density it is feared to cause great damage to the rich natural resource of Kerala. Even the emission of harmful gases from the vehicles can cause a serious threat for the natural beauty and charm of this gorgeous place.   

So who knows next time you visit Kerala you could find more vehicles than people on the busy roads.
