The Coimbatore east urban unit of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam has condemned the way the Coimbatore Corporation went about implementing the lake development project under the Smart Cities Mission.

In a resolution passed at the unit executive committee meeting, the party said the Corporation was spending most of the ₹ 998 crore allotted to the project for ornamental work without prioritising the sewage treatment plant work. As a result, the lakes continued to be filled with municipal sewage.

The party also condemned the delay in competing the road overbridge across railway crossings in SIHS Colony, Neelikonampalayam, Hope College-Thanneerpandal.

It reiterated its demand for scrapping the agreement the Corporation had signed with Suez India for revamping water distribution in the old city area.
