Residents of Uthandi have raised concerns over the slow progress of the underground sewerage project that has, in turn, delayed relaying of roads in many parts of the locality. They also complained about increasing commercial encroachments, eating into road space.
Though pipeline laying has been completed in areas like VGP Layout, residents said house service connections are yet to be provided.
Work began 2 years ago
S.K. Kavitha, a resident, said patchwork had been done on dug-up roads recently. The work to provide sewerage network taken up two years ago has slowed down, further delaying blacktopping.
Abhirami Balaji of VGP Layout Phase I, said residents have been managing with poor-quality roads as the sewer work is yet to be completed. Motorists face a tough time navigating the stretch during rain.
