Kallmedu residents strive for basic civic amenities
Coimbatore- People residing in Kallamedu near Selvapuram in the city are facing a serious civic issue regarding drainage and sewage facility.
The sewage and garbage disposal pitwas once an open well. Due to lack of proper sewage disposal network, people generally throw off their waste in this pit. Seeing this residents have cordoned the area with wooden sticks and ropes. This is done in an attempt to protect themselves from hazardous infections.
Shahul Hameed, a resident of Kallamedu said that it was a good decision to cordon off the area but they are expecting the city corporation to soon take measures to clean up the area and to provide proper drainage and sewage facilities for the residents.
As the residents are not provided with Underground Drainage Connections in the apartments, the area is suffering from perennial sewage problems. There are open pipelines to release sewage in which one leads to a common well. Few residents lament that they have no options as their apartments are to be demolished and will be provided alternate housing facilities while some others do not wish to be relocated.
Another resident of Kallamedu, H Abbas added that proper toilet and sewage facilities are on the top priority to be taken care of which has been reported to the city corporation officials.
This issue was discussed at the South Zone review meeting of the corporation by the local ward councillor A Sadik Ali. After his visit to the locality he asked corporation to take corrective measures to clean and close the pit. He has assured that very soon there will proper drainage and sewage disposal facilities offered to the residents including leveling the open well.
