Public Demands Action Against Offensive Flex at Sivananda Colony Bridge in Coimbatore

Residents of Sivananda Colony, Coimbatore, have placed a controversial flex on the local bridge, warning against dumping trash with threats, and have urged municipal authorities to take action.


Coimbatore: In an unusual display of public discontent, residents of Ward 68 under the Coimbatore Municipal Corporation have taken an extraordinary step to combat littering at the Sivananda Colony bridge. A conspicuous flex banner has been recently mounted on the bridge, bluntly stating that those caught dumping garbage will face severe reprisals.

The message on the banner includes phrases that are considered derogatory and insulting, which has sparked a demand for intervention from the municipal authorities. This public outcry for resolution and the demand for appropriate administrative action was formally made on June 20th. The community insists that while the intention behind the flex is to deter littering, the offensive language used should be addressed by the Coimbatore city officials.
