Every year, during the monsoon, local residents approach the authorities with their demand for proper drainage in the locality. Same is the situation at Karimpadam, a village known for handloom weavers near North Paravoor. Here, due to severe waterlogging, roads were inaccessible on Sunday. A Fire and Rescue Services officer in the municipality also blamed poor drainage for waterlogging in North Paravoor and surrounding areas..
