Sri Vijaya Puram, March 10: The residents of Polytechnic to Marine Colony and Navashakti Housing Cooperative Society are facing severe hardships due to the deplorable condition of roads in their area. Despite being home to over 50 residential plots, where property owners collectively contribute lakhs of rupees annually in taxes, the roads have not been maintained for over a decade, leading to frequent accidents.
Locals report that the roads have been left neglected for the past 12 years, making daily commutes hazardous. The deteriorating roads, filled with potholes and uneven surfaces, have resulted in multiple accidents, raising serious concerns about public safety. Additionally, garbage dumping on the main roads by the public has worsened the situation, further polluting the locality.
Another major concern is the complete absence of a drainage system in Navasakthi Housing Society. The lack of proper drainage has led to waterlogging issues, especially during the monsoon season, causing inconvenience to residents. Despite repeated complaints to the Sri Vijaya Puram Municipal Council, no concrete action has been taken to address these pressing issues.
Local residents are now demanding immediate intervention from municipal authorities to repair the roads, install a proper drainage system, and enforce waste management regulations. They urge the concerned officials to act swiftly before the situation worsens further.
