No toilet at bus stop,no proper garbage pickup,bad roads,river choking with trees… all basic things piling up together.
Residents are now openly raising frustration with local authorities because sanitation facilities are missing in places where public movement is heavy . Bus stops at government hospital in Kadayanallur and Krishnapuram reportedly do not have public toilets,and that is not small thing ah .
Just imagine students,elderly people and persons with disabilities waiting there with no basic toilet facility nearby . It becomes uncomfortable,unsafe and honestly,quite unfair also . These are not luxury demands,these are minimum public needs.
And at same time,TNHB Colony stage 2,phase 2 of V.M. Chatram is facing serious garbage collection problem . Residents say waste pickup is irregular,so garbage has started collecting in drains and streets,especially used polyethylene bags.
Few things standing out clearly here:
- Bus stops at government hospital in Kadayanallur and Krishnapuram lack public toilets .
- TNHB Colony stage 2,phase 2 of V.M. Chatram is dealing with irregular garbage collection .
- Residents are also asking for action on Thamirabarani river and Prosopis juliflora trees.
And tbh,garbage in drains is where problem becomes bigger than just bad smell . Once drains get blocked,water stagnates,mosquitoes increase and whole area starts feeling neglected . People should not have to keep requesting for basic cleanliness again and again.
Another concern coming from community leaders is about Thamirabarani river . They say invasive Prosopis juliflora trees are spreading and affecting natural flow of river . Local authorities and NGOs have also flagged this issue,and district collector has stressed urgency of cleaning river.
But river cleaning cannot be just one-day photo activity . If Prosopis juliflora removal is needed,then proper follow-up also has to happen,otherwise same issue comes back after some time only .
Then there is Ezhuchattupathu village,where residents want repair of dilapidated road under Kovalam village panchayat . Pothole-ridden road is creating risk for vehicles,and people are asking for concrete solution,not temporary patchwork.
What stands out in all this is how many basic civic issues are being raised together . Toilets,waste,river,road… all connected to daily dignity of residents . Question is,will officials act before these complaints become another forgotten file…
