Coimbatore: Infrastructure Projects Face Delays, Causing Problems
In Coimbatore, two issues are causing problems.
First, the plan to create a two-wheeler parking lot under the Gandhipuram flyover has been halted because the State Highways Department needs to approve the plan first.
The city corporation was working on this to ease traffic congestion.
Second, in Nataraj Nagar, unfinished underground drainage (UGD) work has made roads slippery and dangerous after rainfall, causing problems for residents and motorists.
