Coimbatore: A few residents of Rangaswamy Naidu Layout have voiced concerns over the clogged drain in their area, stating the same has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. They also complained about the stench, which they said had made life miserable for them.
The residents, who live just opposite Kamaraj Road, said the city corporation was yet to lay proper drainage pipes in their area and connect the same to the main lines. While the corporation workers had dug trenches and laid slabs on the street three weeks ago, they are yet to complete the work.
V Balasubramaniam, a resident, said the civic body had laid drainage pipelines in the area almost seven years ago, but by excluding three houses that were on the tail end of the road. “We had written to the chief minister’s cell and petitioned the corporation commissioner, Singanallur MLA Karthik and ward councillor, but to no avail.”
