The culvert work will be completed in a week: Corporation Commissioner
The inordinate delay in completing the underground sewerage scheme (UGSS) works on R.K.V. Road here has put pedestrians, motorists and traders to untold hardship. They have urged the Corporation to expedite the works at the earliest. The UGSS work is being implemented on Cauvery Road, R.K.V. Road, at Bazaar Street and in Manikoondu area. In the second week of July, the contractor executing the project dug a pit in Manikoondu to construct a culvert. However, the presence of utilities such as water pipeline, drainage channel, electric cables and telephone cables, delayed the execution of the work for over one month. The restriction on vehicle movement on the busy R.K.V. Road has put pedestrians, shopkeepers and motorists to hardship. Vehicles were diverted and shops saw poor business. Most of the narrow streets in the market area witnessed frequent traffic congestion and pedestrians were forced to cross the work area everyday.More Related News
