Traffic Disruption in Coimbatore's Peelamedu Due to Stuck Lorry

A lorry carrying cooking gas cylinders got stuck in an open drainage pit in Gandhi Nagar, HADCO Colony, Peelamedu, causing significant traffic congestion.


Coimbatore: A traffic jam occurred today in Peelamedu's Gandhi Nagar HADCO Colony due to a lorry, transporting cooking gas cylinders, getting stuck in an inadequately covered water pipeline trench. This incident is a recurring issue in Coimbatore, reflecting the need for better infrastructure management.

The road in Gandhi Nagar HADCO Colony has been partially excavated for pipeline work and left unattended for several days. This has resulted in a situation where vehicles on both sides of the road are forced to pass through a narrowed path, leading to congestion. The local residents have raised concerns and are urging the authorities to take immediate action to resolve this ongoing problem and prevent future occurrences of such traffic disruptions.
