Risky ride for Nagai NH users as sewer holes below road level

Though an arterial road in the district, the Chennai-Nagapattinam state highway, particularly the stretch between the Perarignar Anna bus stand and Nagore, is fraught with risks for many an unassuming commuter, courtesy the dozen-odd sewer manholes that are below road level.

Blaming the municipality for the situation by their frequent digging to locate and clear choked manholes, commuters seek urgent measures to address the issue.

"People have fallen multiple times on the road. We've raised the need to fix the pits and bumps on the stretch with officials but nothing has been done so far," said Aravind Kumar G, a daily commuter on the stretch and resident of Nagapattinam town.
