Once the tender for the repair of these roads has been floated, the civic body will take up repairing them in the next four months. And once the pending house service connection is completed, the Corporation will relay the road.

Ive found out that the area councillor R. Marappan said that the Corporation is repairing the roads in the area in a phased manner. It has rebuilt roads in Viswanathan Layout, Indra Nagar and nearby areas. And soon the attention will be on Masakalipalayam

We have raised the issue with the Coimbatore Corporation officials to have the roads rebuilt but they told us that the civic body could take up the work only when the State Government allocated money for repairing roads damaged because of underground drainage work.

I think the problem to the car drivers is also from the concrete strips that cover the sewer pipes that connect manholes. The concrete strips sink – either because they do not have support beneath or are unable to take pressure of vehicles.

The four-wheeler drivers are forced to ride over the lids on one side to escape hitting the man hold lids. But that is not always possible as the narrow roads do not offer that much space for manoeuvring the vehicles.

The drivers wont have as much problem as long as the challenge from the manholes lids to shock absorbers does not extend to the base of four-wheelers. But, unfortunately, they suffer hits on the chases from the manhole lids.

Also, its not just the main Masakalipalayam road that is in bad shape. The roads, streets and lanes that branch off the road on eastern and western side in Mahalakshmi Kovil Street, Mehta Layout, Sankar Layout, Lakshmipuram, Kasturibai Gandhi Nagar and a few other areas are equally bad, if not worse.

I have seen these uneven road surface that appear right along the middle of the road, every few metres. Its obviously because of the Coimbatore Corporation digging the road for some underground drainage work.

I think the uneven roads here in Masakalipalayam should be a matter of urgency with the corporation. This situation is affecting the rea lestate growth around this area - obviously, because no one wants to travel over such bad roads. I would advise you to stay away from it as well.

Its a problem definitely. There is loose sand lying all over the place. But the biggest threats are the protruding manhole lids. People often trip on those. I recently saw a bike getting upturned on one. Thankfully nobody got hurt.

Well its a problem only if you have a vehicle, because the roads are damaged, like he said. But other than that I dont think there are that many issues here

No dude, I wont suggest moving here. The roads are all broken and in terrible condition. Its a pain to drive over this area everyday. I already have a house here, so cant help it. But I would definitely suggest you to stay away from this place.
