CHENNAI: Motorists encounter bad roads in Ramapuram most of the time, but now even pedestrians are finding it difficult to walk on the roads. Even a short spell of rain makes it difficult to negotiate the roads that are already damaged due to stormwater drain and Metro Water work.
Shankar Nagar Main Road and several areas like Giri Nagar opposite the DLF have no roads and are covered with mud and whatever remains after work has been carried out. “The stormwater drain work was completed two years ago and the Metro Water pipeline work is going on for more than six months now. At present, the pits of stormwater drain work are completely chocked as the roads were dug up by the Metro Water,” said Deepak, a resident.
