It highlights local governance challenges regarding infrastructure delays and the provision of essential public utilities.
Kangayam MLA N.S.N. Nataraj has urged the district administration to resume and expedite the stalled widening works on the Erode–Perundurai Junction (SH-19) road and restore regular drinking water supply to Chennimalai and surrounding areas in Erode district that fall within his Assembly constituency.
In a representation submitted to District Collector S. Kandasamy on Friday (July 31), Mr. Nataraj said the road-widening project had come to a standstill, with works remaining incomplete at several locations. The delay had affected traffic movement and posed safety concerns for motorists and pedestrians, he said.
He said the pending embankment and road-widening works at the SH-90 crossing the Lower Bhavani Project canal should be completed before the scheduled release of irrigation water. Any further delay could hamper canal operations and disrupt irrigation, affecting the livelihood of thousands of farmers, he added.
