SALEM: Construction of new storm water drains and repair works in a portion of the Veeranam Main Road in Ward 10 is progressing steadily.

The Salem Corporation had taken up the work as the road lacked storm water drains for long.

The road also remained in a bad condition.

People in the ward had made repeated representations to the civic body to carry out road repairs.

As a result, the civic administration allotted a sum of Rs. 90 lakh for the construction of drains and road repairs.

Drains are being constructed on both sides of the road to a length of about one kilometre.

Officials said that the civic body had completed about 25 percent of the works already.

The remaining works were expected to be completed within three months.

Meanwhile, people in the area had appealed to the Corporation to initiate measures to prevent the encroachments on the roadsides.
