Residents Demand Swift Completion of Underground Drainage Work at Ramani's Mayuri in Coimbatore

Residents of Ramani's Mayuri in Coimbatore urge authorities to expedite the two-month-long underground drainage work, citing safety concerns due to waterlogged trenches after heavy rainfall on July 24.


Coimbatore: Residents of Ramani's Mayuri, located on Saravanampatti Road in Thudiyalur, Coimbatore, have raised concerns over the ongoing underground drainage work that has been in progress for the past two months.
