Leaking drinking water pipe ruins road, floods farms
The New Indian Express Villupuram
|January 22, 2025
A leakage in the Kollidam joint drinking water project pipeline near Chidambaram has caused water to overflow onto roads and agricultural fields, rendering the road leading to Kovilampoondi village unsuitable for traffic.
The pipeline, which supplies water up to Killai, has been leaking for over a year along Kovilampoondi-Anuvampattu road. This resulted in stagnant water damaging roads and paddy fields. Residents have urged the district administration to address the issue immediately.
