The Corporation had decided to go for only patching with bitumen the damaged stretches of roads across the city, according to Corporation sources familiar with the developments,. Only after the digging works were over, the Corporation would think about relaying the roads, the sources added. The reasoning the senior officials gave was that with the Corporation taking up various works that involved digging roads it was better to repair damages than construct roads. For the 24x7 drinking water supply project alone, the Corporation had estimated that it needed to dig at least over a 1,000 km city roads to replace feeder mains and distribution system pipeline. And, by the time the underground drainage work was over in Kurichi and Kuniamuthur, the water supply augmentation work would begin.
