Madurai: The residents of Villapuram in ward 86 in Madurai have been unable to use the corporation water supplied through their taps for the past one week as it has a foul smell. The residents have planned to stage a demonstration on Monday demanding that their councillor Booma Janasri Murugan to take action immediately.
T Shanthi, a resident of Villapuram, said that she and some of the other women in their ward had told all the candidates who had come to their ward seeking votes that they should promise to solve their drinking water problem.
In many of the streets in the ward including Anna second street, Rajan street, Mariappa Pillai street, Velupillai street and Kanakkapillai street, water is not supplied to all the houses on the entire street due to lack of pressure. Now, as sewage was mixing with water people are unable to use it either.
They said that the corporation tanker lorry had come a week ago, but as they had run out of water most of them were buying mineral water for all their needs.
Councillor Booma Janasri’s husband Murugan, who spoke on her behalf, said they were rectifying the UGD work in their ward for the past ten days after assuming office. “Once, this is completed, the problem that is being reported of sewage mixing with the drinking water would be addressed,” he said.
