Trichy Canal Road Choked by Construction Debris
2 Nov
Summary
- Construction debris blocks a key Smart Cities Mission road near the district collectorate.
- The road is a vital link for schools and commuters, bypassing congested areas.
- Residents blame poor supervision for ongoing illegal dumping of waste.
Despite previous warnings and threats of strict action, the illegal dumping of construction and demolition waste persists in Trichy. The aqueduct road along the Uyyakondan canal, a vital link constructed under the Smart Cities Mission, is currently obstructed by construction debris. This road provides a quicker route between government offices and residential areas, and is frequently used by school vehicles to bypass congested Vayalur Road.
Residents have expressed their dismay, noting that while some vacant plots are cleared, trucks continue to dump large amounts of debris and solid waste on the aqueduct road, with even chicken waste found near the canal. They attribute the recurring problem to inadequate supervision and enforcement by the authorities. Corporation officials have stated that encroached roads will be cleared and that action will be taken against those responsible for dumping waste near canals and water bodies.
