Residents of Mannargudi Municipality are facing significant safety risks due to severely deteriorated roads, characterized by deep potholes and damaged stretches. This condition is largely attributed to ongoing underground sewerage works, which have caused delays and left roads unusable for months. Local political leaders and residents have expressed frustration over administrative delays and the impact on commuters and tourism, urging for expedited completion of the project. Municipal officials acknowledge the disruption but state permanent restoration will occur post-completion, with temporary patchwork planned after the monsoon.
