TIRUCHY: With depressions forming on the recently blacktopped Vayalur Road, questions are being raised regarding the quality of work taken up by the corporation. Blacktopping of the road was taken up two months ago after the corporation faced criticism for the slow-paced work on its underground drainage project, and areas that were dug up for the project were relaid.
Less than a month after it was completed, depressions have begun forming. “If they had ensured proper quality, the depressions would not have appeared. In some areas, the depressions have already caused damage. This is likely to get worse as stormwater would pool up at the depression. Since the road faced damage within a few weeks of blacktopping, I think the authorities failed to ensure work quality,” said Suresh Kumar of Ganapathy Nagar.
