The damaged road near Kattabomman statue at Periyar bus stand in Madurai causes inconvenience to vehicle users.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) members, led by its district secretary R. Vijayarajan, petitioned Madurai Corporation Commissioner here on Friday, highlighting the abysmal condition of roads in Madurai city.
While several roads have remained damaged for a long period of time, the condition of these roads has deteriorated following the recent rains. Most of these roads have developed potholes and craters, causing severe inconvenience to road users, said Mr. Vijayarajan.
“Whenever it rains, stagnant water fills these potholes, making it difficult for vehicle users to identify danger spots,” he added.

“In the City Decongestion Strategy, commuter buses will be available for passengers who will prefer not to walk from the termini to the city centre and vice-versa,” said NMS in a statement.
It added that commuters can also use the Non-Motorised Transport Corridors (NMT) which have both cycle ways and walk ways to and from the CBD.
According to NMS, the city will soon start using a digital platform for rides to and from terminuses which will be introduced by NMS outside CBD.
NMS is set to integrate an electronic system in the terminuses outside the city centre that will keep matatu users informed on the time last mile buses will be at the different pick up stages.
