A reader expresses concern regarding stagnant sewage in a waterbody near public infrastructure in Sivakasi. The letter urges the local corporation to desilt the area and improve drainage to prevent health risks.
Why it matters
Highlights the impact of urban infrastructure neglect on public health and the importance of civic engagement in local governance.
Sewage has remained stagnant for years in the waterbody along Kamarajar Salai in Sivakasi, creating unhygienic conditions and foul odour. The area houses the Head Post Office, the Registration Office, schools and a daily market, exposing a large number of people to health risks. The Sivakasi Corporation should immediately desilt and clean the odai, improve drainage and ensure its regular maintenance to prevent sewage stagnation and safeguard public health.
