‘Dust storm’ on Flowers Road

Work on a drainage collection pit was completed two months ago, but the road is yet to be relaid
Though two months have elapsed since Chennai Metrowater completed the work on the additional drainage collection pit at Flowers Road in Purasawalkam, the road is yet to be relaid. The link road provides motorists with access to many neighbourhoods; and the dusty and uneven road is giving motorists a bumpy ride. The trench that connects the existing manholes and the new collection pits were levelled with coarse sand. Due to continual movement of vehicles, this spot has caved in. “The road has to be relaid completely because the whole of it got damaged due to the new pit work. Steps should also be taken to prevent wrong-way driving especially from Poonamalle High Road to Flowers Road,” says K. Mohan, a motorist from Kilpauk.More Related News
