Patients Affected as CMCH Sewage System Renovation Sees Little Progress
The New Indian Express Coimbatore
|June 12, 2025
The renovation of the underground drainage (UGD) and sewage systems at the Coimbatore Medical College Hospital (CMCH) is progressing at a snail's pace, causing inconvenience to patients and visitors alike.
The road on the eastern side, from Amma Unavagam, is completely closed for construction, forcing all traffic to rely on a single access route from the super specialty block.
Officials from the Public Works Department (PWD), who are managing the project, said that the delay is due to difficulties in identifying the existing underground electrical cables and pipeline network. They further said that they aim to complete the project in 3 months.
