The Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) has appealed to Corporation Commissioner B. Vishnu Chandran to remove alleged encroachments that are obstructing the flow of rainwater from Karim Nagar near Melapalayam to Venthankulam near the new bus stand.
The rainwater that gets accumulated in Teachers’ Colony and Government Engineering College during the northeast monsoon overflows Tirunelveli-Nagercoil Highway and reaches Karim Nagar area on Melapalayam–Reddiyarpatti Road. Like a small wild stream, the rainwater crosses Karim Nagar and flows towards Venthankulam through Xavier Colony, from where the surplus water gets drained in Palayam Channel opposite K. A. Hotel on South Bypass Road.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
