A few years ago, when several of the residents wanted roads to be laid, they staged a protest and collected Rs 1.5lakh. They used the money to buy sand and debris to lay the road. Subsequently, the civic body laid a part of the road

Everyone is dumping sewage in the empty plots that are in plenty around here, which is leading to a lot of mosquito and dog menace in the area. No one has had a good night's sleep in a long time

Many of them here have decided enough is enough and have left the place while there are a few like me that are helpless. Also the corporation shamelessly demands for taxes despite not providing any help for us.

Residents of Bharathi NAge in the Kuniyamuthur area have been facing a lot of issues in the area. Several accounts of complaining, protesting and petitioning higher officials have been useless for them as nothing has been done to address their problems.

Hi, road safety is an important factor in judging any locality, right? A road safety week was recentely organised with a plethora of events including rallies, flash mobs, demonstrations, road safety awareness campaigns that emphasize on the need for safe roads are being conducted in full swing.

Coimbatore being one of the major cities has all the biggest cellular network providers in the region. Airtel, Idea, Docomo, Vodafone, Aircel, etc are just few of the mobile networks available in the city. Also there are plenty of network towers to ensure that the mobiles get the signal for making calls, constantly.

Hey, the construction of Nanjundapuram plant, which would treat 45 million litres of sewage daily, has been stopped due to opposition from residents. The major objection is the close proximity of the plant to residential areas. This keeps happening and has delayed the project for years.

Sewage treatment is serious business in Coimbatore, and that is reflected by the currently present, and still in development sewage treatment plant in different parts of the city. One of the major plants is in Ukkadam, where tonnes of waste is treated everyday. Another plant that is being developed is in Nanjudapuram, which will further help matters in the city.

The water supply is pretty decent in Coimbatore from what i have witnessed, apart from random instances like the bursting of a pipeline somewhere, so acute shortage of rain during a particular monsoon. The Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation is in charge of ensuring that the city gets enough water supply.

While we are on the topic of electricity, i would just like to mention that Tamil Nadu's power purchase from private sources has gone up by 238% in the last 10 years while the losses during the same period have increased by 882%. In my opinion, that is a very worrying statistic don't you think?

Your question is a bit open ended in that telling you about the general state of things in Coimbatore is a bit difficult, since there is so much info. I'll ust tell you about the electricity supply for now. Tamil Nadu Electricty Board (TNEB) , is responsible for the supply of electricity in most of the parts of the city.
