Road infrastructure, access to healthcare are key demands
The construction of a ring road to ease traffic congestion and the setting up of a taluk hospital are the key demands of the residents of the Katpadi Assembly constituency. There are around 2.50 lakh voters in the 20 wards of the constituency, which falls under the Vellore City Municipal Corporation.
The busy Katpadi railway station is located on the Cuddalore - Chittoor State Highway. “Traffic is a major problem, especially on the Cuddalore - Chittoor State Highway. There is a need for a ring road, which would ensure that vehicles travelling from Andhra Pradesh to Tiruvannamalai needn’t enter the town. This has to be implemented soon,” said Umesh Kumar of the Jagannatha Nagar Residents’ Welfare Association.
