Residents Express Concern as Snakes Emerge from Water Tank Area in Vilankurichi, Coimbatore

In Vilankurichi, Coimbatore, residents report frequent snake appearances from a water tank, alarming the locality. Despite complaints, no action has been taken by authorities.


Coimbatore: In the 32nd ward of Vilankurichi, Marutham Nagar, a water tank maintained by the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board is causing distress among residents. The area around this water tank has become overgrown with bushes and undergrowth, becoming a breeding ground for snakes and other potentially dangerous creatures.

Despite multiple complaints to the water board officials, the authorities have reportedly not taken any substantial measures to address these concerns.
