Residents fear risk of infections due to uncleared garbage in city's Sungam and surrounding areas

Due to sewage in the area also not being cleared, residents complained that the area is becoming a hideout for poisonous insects and snakes.


Coimbatore: Over a 1000 people reside in the Sungam Bypass Road, Sri Nagar and Sivaram Nagar areas under the 74th Ward of Coimbatore Corporation.



Residents have been complaining about the lack of basic hygiene owing to huge garbage piles being uncleared which have hampered free passage on roads in the area, as well as resulted in health issues for residents in the area.



With sewage in the area not being cleared too, residents complain that the area is becoming a hideout for poisonous insects and snakes.



The residents lament that despite repeated complaints to the Corporation authorities, no action has been taken thus far.
