Ooty Residents Raise Concerns Over Sewage, Waste Issues
Ooty, a popular tourist spot, has a problem: sewage is overflowing from manholes, and garbage is piling up.
This is making the town smelly and possibly unhealthy.
Residents are upset because they pay for services like drainage and waste collection that aren't working well.
They want the government to step in and fix the issues, especially because the infrastructure is old and the number of tourists visiting has gone up.
The municipality says it will address these complaints.
Ooty residents are experiencing overflowing manholes and uncollected waste.
Sewage flows on roads, particularly in areas like Havelock Road and Missionary Hill.
Residents are urging government intervention due to the municipality's perceived inaction.

The assistant commissioner of Tirupur Corporation has taken charge of the Ooty municipality.
