Traffic congestion, absence of parking lots major concerns in Periyasemur

The long-standing demand for a flyover on Mettur Road remains unfulfilled

Once a town panchayat, Periyasemur and a few wards were added to the Erode Corporation in 2011 and the residents in newly added areas still wait for basic amenities.

Major areas in Zone II are Gangapuram, Periyasemur, Manickampalayam, Kumalankuttai, Soolai, Veerappanchatiram, Municipal Colony, Sampath Nagar, Edayankattu Valasu, Municipal Bus Stand, Panneerselvam Park, and the Wards covered are 5,8, 9,12,18,20,21,22,27,28,29,35,36,37.

All the arterial roads such as Nasiyanur Road, Mettur Road, Sathy Road, Meenatchi Sundaranar Road, Perundurai Road, and textile markets, including the E.K.M. Abdul Gani Textile Market, are located in the zone. The presence of municipal bus stand, wholesale and retail vegetable and fruit market, V.O.C. Park Stadium, Central and State government offices, banks, commercial establishments, keeps the roads in the zone busy throughout the day.
