Devotees Request Road Repairs to Vanabadrakaliyamman Temple, Thekkampatti

Devotees visiting the Vanabadrakaliyamman Temple in Thekkampatti request urgent road repairs due to damage and waterlogging, especially during Amavasya and holidays.


Coimbatore: The Vanabadrakaliyamman Temple, located on the banks of the Bhavani River in Thekkampatti, witnesses a significant influx of devotees, particularly on Amavasya and public holidays. However, the road leading to the temple from Mettupalayam is in a state of disrepair, exacerbating during the rainy season as the path becomes waterlogged.

The devotees have raised concerns about the deteriorating condition of this road, especially considering the increased footfall during peak times. The water stagnation not only hampers the accessibility to the temple but also poses potential hazards for visitors.

In light of these issues, the devotees have put forth a request for urgent repair and maintenance work on a war footing. They emphasize the need for a proper tar road that can withstand seasonal changes and provide safe access to the temple.

This request from the devotees highlights the need for immediate attention from the local authorities to address infrastructure issues that affect not only the temple's accessibility but also the safety and convenience of its visitors.
