COIMBATORE: Traffic and development projects along the busy stretch between Kavundampalayam and Thudiyalur on Mettupalayam Road have been severely affected by widespread encroachments, with traders occupying significant portions of the roadway.
The Nagapattinam-Coimbatore-Gundlupete National Highway (NH 181), commonly known as Mettupalayam Road, is one of the busiest routes in the region, being the main gateway for tourists and travelers heading to Ooty, Kotagiri, Coonoor, Gudalur, and Mysuru.
