Travails on ECR
The East Coast Road (ECR) from Thoothukudi to Chennai runs via Ramanathapuram. The stretch from Ramanathapuram up to Nagapattinam is full of potholes. The shoulders on either side of the road are not property maintained. ‘Karuvelam’ trees have grown on both sides of the road, thus obstructing the sight of oncoming vehicles. Stray animals also enter the road and cause fatal accidents. Only if the stray cattle or impounded will the road users have any amount of safety. The owners of the stray animals must be slapped a heavy fine. The project to convert the ECR as a divided six lane expressway must be expedited.

Repair roads
The stretch of road between Dindigul MSP Higher Secondary School to Palani railway line crossing road is in a very bad condition for the past one year. It is full of potholes and it is difficult to ride vehicles on this road. Accidents also occur because of the bad state of the road. Moreover, the stretch of road between Kosavapatti and Gopalpatti is also in a similar condition. Hence, I request the authorities concerned to do patchwork on these roads immediately.

Set right pole
The street light pole opposite Annamalai Hotel on the four-lane highway in Paramakudi is in a precarious condition and it may fall down any time. I request the National Highways Authority of India to set it right before anything untoward happens.
