Thambu Chetty Street in Mannadi, home to numerous commercial establishments, faces a severe sewage overflow issue, disrupting daily life. Nightly sewage surges from manholes spread foul odors and attract mosquitoes, posing serious health risks. Despite repeated complaints to the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board, residents like J. Vijaykumar report no resolution in sight.
The Board acknowledges outdated, faulty pipes as the cause and plans a pipeline overhaul post-election. Meanwhile, the persistent overflow inconveniences pedestrians and motorists, necessitating swift action to prevent further deterioration of living conditions.
