Old UGD system remains a major issue in prime areas in Madurai, residents seek permanent solution
MADURAI: As residents of prime areas like Sellur seek a permanent solution to blockages in the underground drainage system in Madurai, which has resulted in sewage overflow in several areas, the city corporation has said that it is chalking out a plan to resolve the issues. Even though the city corporation clears the blockage in the drainage system manually or using suction machines, residents have dismissed these measures as temporary and seek a permanent solution. Speaking about the frequent sewage overflow issues, MP Sankara Pandian, of ward 23, said, "Blocked lines and sewage overflow remain major issues in Sellur area, especially in wards 23, 24, 27, and 25. Based on the recent interim report submitted on the condition of the UGD system in the city, the city corporation will carry out maintenance works in the prime areas.
