Residents of Ambedkar Nagar, under Karamadai Town Panchayat, have been voicing their concerns over the lack of basic facilities despite being provided land titles four years ago. They report no access to drinking water, electricity, or proper roads.
Coimbatore: Over 50 families residing in Ambedkar Nagar, adjacent to Eththappanagar within the Karamadai Town Panchayat jurisdiction, have raised serious concerns over the absence of basic amenities, despite being allotted land titles four years ago. The residents lament the absence of essential facilities such as public toilets, paved roads, drinking water, and electricity, creating a challenging living environment.
A local resident, Sumithra, highlighted the dire situation during a recent interaction with journalists, stating that the area lacks even the most basic utilities. The absence of streetlights has led to safety concerns, particularly at night when women and children find it difficult to venture outside. The darkness also encourages loitering and alcohol consumption near a nearby quarry, further endangering the community.
The scarcity of drinking water has pushed residents to purchase potable water for as high as 300 rupees and saline water for 700 rupees, showcasing the severity of their plight. Additionally, the lack of electricity complicates emergency visits to hospitals during the night, as auto-rickshaw drivers are reluctant to enter the poorly lit area after 7 PM.
Sumithra also expressed frustration over the government's inaction, despite petitions for basic amenities. The residents' plea for immediate provision of essential services underscores the urgent need for governmental intervention to improve their living conditions.
