The absence of accountability and the nonchalant attitude among the civic authorities had forced many residents in the added wards in Madurai Corporation to relocate themselves as an alternative measure.
In a memorandum submitted to the Corporation Commissioner K.P. Karthikeyan, the members of the Kalai Nagar Extension Residents’ Welfare Association have charged that even after 18 months had gone, the officials were yet to complete the UGD (underground drainage) works. As a result, the roads in Pallavi Nagar, Balaji Nagar and among others had gone for a toss.

On November 30, a team of officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), Water Resources Department (WRD) and Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) conducted a joint inspection of a rainwater vent below the Chennai Bypass Road in Thiruneermalai. This marks the second time NHAI and WRD have carried out an inspection following a request being made by residents. They want NHAI to widen the vent located below the Bypass Road to facilitate rainwater drainage from ‘Nattukalvai’. The office bearers of the Federation of Welfare Associations accompanied the officials.
