Kanniwadi: Due to accidents due to useless water pipes, dirty roads, electricity distribution wires in the drains, sewage surrounding the residences, mosquito infestation and spread of infection, the people of Kuttathuppatti are stuck at the top of the health barrier.
There are more than 300 dwellings in Kuttathuppatti village in Redyarchatram union. Water, sewerage and road facilities are inadequate. Due to the accumulation of waste in the streets, the problems of health and infectious diseases are increasing. During the rainy season, the roads become a mess due to the accumulation of rainwater. Houses are surrounded by rainwater and sewerage without sewerage. Many people are affected by the movement of poisonous insects even during the day time. The people of this area, who are deprived of basic facilities, are expecting the action of the district administration. —
Pipes are magic
Sanjeevi, Driver, Kuttathuppatti : Road damaged in many streets. Nayakkar Street overhead tank has been supplying water without maintenance for 2 years. 9.20 lakhs for the construction of pipelines for water supply is incomplete. Some streets were not constructed and the remaining pipes were taken away. Irregular steel street pipes are damaged and cause accidents at the rotorams. The Jaljeevan scheme, which provides drinking water to every household, is not operational.
-Science of drinking water
M. Aarokyameri, family head, Kuttathuppatti: There are major problems in the supply of drinking water. Water connection has been provided to only a few houses in some streets. As the water comes only for a limited period of time, it is not enough for all the families. They have laid street pipes at a low level in the area where the dirty water is stagnant. Even when it rains heavily, the streets become a mess and it becomes impossible to leave the house.
Risk of infection
A. Vijaya, Head of Family, Chandanamatha Koil Street: Although there is sufficient water supply in this area, the bore wells are left lying without maintenance. In Chandanamatha Koil Street, the water supply and electricity connection wire has been left in the drain. There is increasing mosquito infestation in the sewers on Siluvaid Tinnai Road. Not enough street lights. All the roads have been damaged by digging pits for laying pipelines.
The problem is due to scarcity
Velkani, Chairman, Kuttathuppatti Panchayat: There was lack of funds to install the water distribution pipe completely. The remaining streets will soon be piped with additional assessments. Once the administrative permission is received, the work will start. The Jaljeevan Mission project is yet to receive its allotment. There is a shortage of people. A small number of sanitation workers and water tank operators are able to carry out menial tasks. In all the hamlets, sewerage maintenance is done on a cyclical basis, he said.
