VILLUPURAM: A 4.85 km road linking Royapettah and Nesal, used by approximately 400 families residing in Appirampattu village near Auroville, is in a damaged state for several months. The road enables the villagers to access the towns of Marakanam, Tindivanam, Puducherry, and the taluk headquarters Vanur.
“The road was laid in 2018 by the Vanur panchayat union. It has now developed numerous potholes and poses a significant risk to commuters. The lack of proper street lights exacerbates the situation, causing accidents during night travel, especially for two-wheeler riders,” said PT Mathiazhagan, a social activist and a resident of Appirampattu.
