In case you are planning to move in to Giri Nagar, there are few things about this locality that you should be aware of. The drainage system here is below average. And the residents have had to face a lot of problems for that. At some parts, the drains are open really wide. This is extremely unhygienic and is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, cockroaches and other pests. The air is becoming polluted around this area due to the stink being given off by these open drains. The situation worsens in rainy season, when all the contents of the drains overflow out into the streets. The local people have brought the matter to the eyes of the corporation and it is being looked into. Construction to build a better drainage system is going to start pretty soon.

Giri Nagar basically falls in Ward 8 of the Coimbatore Corporation. The drainage condition in whole of Ward 8 is bad. Giri Nagar is also affected. Most of the drains in this area are wide open and give off a horrible smell. The sewage overflows the drains sometimes, especially during rainy season, causing major problems to the people in this locality. There have been several accidents in this area because of the drains too. Several children have fallen into the wider part of the drains. The corporation undertook a project to improve the sewage system. But the project was stopped midway, causing even further problems to the people living here. Hopefully, work will start again soon and fix the drainage problem in Giri Nagar.
