Coimbatore: After a prolonged dry spell, Periyanayakkanpalayam in Coimbatore district witnessed significant rainfall last night on May 8. The recent downpour, however, has led to severe waterlogging on a newly constructed flyover in the area, reportedly built at a cost of Rs. 115 crore.

Local authorities are being urged to rectify the situation by implementing effective drainage solutions to prevent future occurrences of such events. The safety of commuters and the functionality of significant infrastructure investments like this flyover are at stake.
