Residents block road in protest against delay in completing UGD project, 19 detained

The Hindu  

Residents of K. Sathanur and nearby areas staged a road blockade near the Udayanpatti railway gate on Saturday, demanding the completion of the long-delayed underground drainage project on the K. Sathanur-Udayanpatti Road. Work on the UGD project, covering a 2-km stretch along the arterial K. Sathanur-Udayanpatti Road under Wards 63 and 64 of the Tiruchi Corporation, has been going on for over 20 months. Adding to their woes, government bus services connecting K. Sathanur to Vayalur and Chathiram have been suspended on this route for nearly two years, forcing residents to rely on private transportation. On Saturday, over 150 residents gathered near the Udayanpatti Railway Gate and blocked traffic on the Pillaiyar Koil-Akil Olaiyur Road demanding immediate intervention.
