Immediate patchwork needed on New Jail Road in Madurai due to potholes, garbage dump on Narasingam Road in Yanaimalai-Othakadai.
Do patchwork immediately
Nowadays all roads in Madurai city and peripheral areas are in very poor condition. For instance, New Jail Road is full of potholes and vehicle users find it difficult to negotiate them. The Corporation should do the patchwork on this and other roads immediately.

Garbage dump all along road
In Yanaimalai-Othakadai, on Narasingam Road, between the transformer located near a vacant land owned by HR & CE Department and the transformer opposite to Othakadai primary agriculture cooperative bank, garbage is dumped at four places within a 300-feet stretch. Opposite the cooperative bank, for nearly a 50 feet distance, garbage lies scattered along the roadside creating offensive smell and sight.
Besides the public, high ranking officials who visit Narasingaperumal temple and the international tourists who explore the three archaeological sites located on Yanaimalai use this road. Regular disposal of garbage will ensure hygiene and retain the good image of this area.
The Cubbon Park administration has said that any event organised inside the park with over 20 participants need prior permission from the Horticulture Department and in some cases, even permission from the police. This comes after the row over organisers of Cubbon Reads, a reading community, being detained on Saturday, as several turned up for a Secret Santa party.
