PWD installs additional borewell in Walajah court after water crisis disrupts proceedings
The Public Works Department has installed a new high-powered borewell at the Walajah court complex to resolve a severe water crisis. This action follows a week-long protest by advocates who stopped court proceedings due to the lack of water supply.

It highlights the impact of infrastructure failure on the judicial system and the necessity of basic utilities for public institutions.
The Public Works Department (PWD) has installed a high-powered borewell in the District Munsif cum Magistrate Court at Walajah town in Ranipet on Thursday to provide an uninterrupted water supply to the complex.

Veeraiyan, a litigant.
