Traffic has been diverted due to laying of pipelines under the Under Ground Sewerage Schemes near the Podanur Railway Station by the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage (TWAD) Board.

According to a TWAD engineer, the UGD work would be held for 100 metres. Hence, traffic in the route would be diverted via Jothi Nagar Road, near Karunanidhi Nagar in Ramanathapuram towards Sarada Mill Road in Sundarapuram in Kurichi. The traffic diversion would come into effect from March 5.”

“The cost of the overall project is roughly ₹558 crore. The work is under way at several parts of the district, including near the railway station and 14 wards in Kurichi and Kuniyamuthur. We expect to finish the work by September this year,” according to TWAD official.
