Residents in Mayiladuthurai demand badly damaged roads to be repaired before onset of monsoon

The Hindu  

Several roads within Ward 20 of Mayiladuthurai municipality, particularly in parts of Pudhu Agraharam, R.K. Golden Nagar, Rajarajeswari Nagar, Cholan Nagar, Abdul Kalam Nagar, Ramjayam Nagar, and Anna Nagar, have gone without repairs for over 20 years, affecting around 50,000 residents. Despite being a key route, especially for a prominent private school with over 1,000 students and pilgrims travelling to Dharumapuram Atheenam via Poraiyar and Poompuhar, the roads remain in disrepair. The condition of our roads, however, stays the same,” said Tamilan Ganesan, a social activist who has been repeatedly submitting petitions on behalf of the residents. Official sources said petitions related to the issue had been received, and plans were under way to lay new roads in the affected areas before the rainy season.
