Call to upgrade Rani Mangammal Road grows louder after Musiri RDO's death in accident
The New Indian Express Nagapattinam
|June 22, 2025
In the wake of Musiri Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) P Aaramudhu Devasena's death in a road accident near Jeeyapuram last week, the Tiruchy district road user welfare committee has suggested to NHAI to consider widening the Rani Mangammal Road to decongest the Tiruchy-Karur highway since widening the latter poses practical challenges, with Cauvery river running along it on the one side and a railway track on the other.
The association has said that the Rani Mangammal Road could be developed as a four-lane stretch. It branches off from the Tiruchy-Dindigul road and passes through Karumandapam and Allithurai before rejoining the Tiruchy-Karur National Highway near Manavasi in Karur district.
P Ayyarappan, coordinator of the road user welfare committee, said any alternative measures that would help ease traffic congestion and reduce accidents should be seriously considered.
