Residents of Salem city are no exemption to drinking water crisis. Road blocks and demonstrations seeking good drinking water supply have become a common sight at least once in a week. Around 3 am on Monday the residents of Kondalampatti were horrified to see their houses flooded by the precious commodity.
There was flooding in the service lanes on both sides of the highway. More than 50 Salem Corporation sanitary workers were roped in to bring the situation under control. Using 10 tankers and motors they pumped the water into a nearby drain. After hours of struggle they prevented the road from being flooded.
This delayed the Chief Minister’s convoy passing by that stretch to reach Coimbatore, to fly to Chennai.
