Maduranthakam: Maduranthakam union, near Patalam is the Palayanur panchayat. More than 500 families are living here in Ambedkar Nagar area.
For the drinking water needs of the people of the area, an overhead water reservoir with a capacity of 60 thousand liters was constructed 30 years ago and the drinking water needs were met through a pipe.
In this case, for the last few months, the cement coating of the water storage tank has been falling off.
Also, the four pillars of the tank, while the outer cement coating has been removed, the iron bars are visible.
Due to this, the tank is unstable and there is a danger of collapsing.
Therefore, the public has demanded that the district administration and panchayat authorities should take action to remove the old overhead water tank and construct a new water tank.
