Frequent Storm Drain Clogging Causing Localised Flooding in Coimbatore Ward 42

Ward 42 in Coimbatore North constituency experiences localised flooding after moderate rainfall due to storm drains that are chronically blocked by accumulated solid waste and silt. The drainage network in this ward has not been comprehensively cleaned and maintained for years, and illegal waste dumping in drains is common. A systematic drain desilting programme combined with penalties for waste disposal in drains would provide significant relief.
