Demonstrators want authorities to clear sewage-mixed rainwater in the locality
Residents in Mandaveli staged a protest on Friday, demanding that the authorities pump out the rainwater mixed with sewage that is entering their houses. However, the demonstration turned violent when a few DMK cadre had a heated exchange with the residents and assaulted them for blocking the road.
On Thursday evening, after the road caved in on R.K. Mutt Road, the sewage pumps underground were damaged and the pumping station on St. Mary’s Road was shut down.
Knee-deep rainwater mixed with sewage stagnated on Vinayagam Street, Devanathan Street, Thiruvalluvarpet Road and adjoining areas. Residents had a tough time bailing out the water.
