Sewage overflow poses health hazard in many areas of Tiruchi

The Hindu  

A section of city residents is raising a stink over frequent incidents of leaky and overflowing sewage in residential areas. The sight is common in interior streets, especially at Kaliamman Kovil Street in Khajamalai, Melur Road, North Chithirai Street, and Thiruvallur Street in Srirangam, Emily Nagar, Kallukuzhi and K.K. The issue has persisted for several months and overflowing manholes pose a health hazard as the stagnation leads to mosquito breeding, complained the residents of Khajamalai. For instance, frequent pipeline bursts and manhole overflowing occur in the Khajamalai and Srirangam areas, but no permanent measures have been taken.
