Motorists caught on the wrong foot

Metrowater pipeline-laying work was undertaken on a busy section of CTH Road without prior planning
Unplanned digging of the bitumen-topped Chennai–Tiruvallur High (CTH) Road, near the small bridge in Ambattur, by Chennai Metrowater has made the stretch uneven, with mounds of sand dumped at the corners. The drainage pipeline-laying work was undertaken for a day recently when lockdown restrictions were relaxed. The work is aimed at connecting the drainage network in the two connecting streets to the manhole on CTH Road. Commuters are unhappy that police personnel had not been deployed to regulate traffic on the stretch when the work was being undertaken. The existing vehicle checkpoint near the Ambattur police station is hardly 100 metres away from the damaged portion on the stretch where the pipeline work was carried out.More Related News
