CPI(M) urges Dindigul Corporation to repair pothole-ridden roads

The CPI(M) has urged Dindigul Corporation to repair pothole-ridden roads in the Corporation limits.

A. Arabu Mohamed, Secretary of CPI(M) Dindigul City Committee, said that due to heavy rains in the past few days, many roads within the Corporation limits had developed potholes, causing hardship to vehicle users leading to accidents.

He said the roads should be repaired and new tar roads should be laid. He pointed out that the North Ratha Street road from the Government Hospital via Gopal Samudram taxi stand to Arasamaram had been severely damaged and was riddled with potholes.

There were blockages in the drainage in key areas of the city, such as near Nagal Nagar flyover and Vellai Vinayagar Temple, leading to rainwater stagnating on the streets. The public were affected as a result, he said.
