Notices served on encroachers in and around Valankulam tank

Coimbatore Corporation has asked them to vacate the places in 15 days

Coimbatore Corporation on Monday served notices on people who had encroached upon public space in and around the Valankulam tank to move out within the next few days. Near the Sungam roundabout, the Corporation issued notices to occupants of 52 houses in Eri Medu, on the way to Indira Nagar, to move out in the next 15 days. Sources said the Corporation had told the residents that they needed to move out as the land they had encroached upon was necessary for the completion of flyover on Trichy Road. An exit ramp from the flyover to the Sungam-Ukkadam Road passed through the area, and the Highways Department that was constructing the flyover needed the land to erect columns, they said.
