The Nava India junction on Avinashi Road has been inundated with drinking water after the main feeder pipeline from the Pillur Dam developed cracks. Pipeline leaks have become a regular affair at the junction, said N Prabhu, a commuter. “The pipeline was damaged twice in the last few months. It started leaking after patchwork was carried out on the Avinashi Road ahead of the visit of chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami. It is posing a danger to motorists, who fail to notice potholes. Many have fallen off vehicles. Also, street lights are not functioning at the junction,” he said. As storm water drains on the stretch are clogged, water remains stagnant, said Somasundaram, another commuter. “Whenever it rains, corporation workers would manually empty standing water.”
