Commuters in Coimbatore demand urgent road repairs

Commuters in Coimbatore district are calling for urgent repairs to major roads that were damaged during pipeline work for the AMRUT water supply scheme. Despite the completion of the project nearly a year ago, the roads remain in poor condition. The Coimbatore district road protection committee has requested action from both the national highways wing and the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board. Potholes and rough surfaces have led to accidents and safety concerns for drivers and pedestrians. A recent inspection by both departments did not result in any repairs. Local residents report worsening road conditions, with some experiencing injuries due to potholes. Commuters are urging officials to address the issue promptly.
