Tamil Nadu BJP president Nainar Nagenthran has appealed for immediate repairs to the Palar bridge, highlighting the safety risks posed by its deteriorating condition. In a statement shared on social media, Nagenthran flagged the presence of dangerous potholes and structural issues affecting the bridge's usability.
The BJP leader expressed particular concern for schoolchildren and members of the general public who regularly traverse the bridge. Nagenthran warned that the current state of disrepair creates significant hazards for daily commuters and could potentially lead to accidents if left unaddressed.
Demanding swift government action, Nagenthran has called for a comprehensive safety audit of the bridge infrastructure. The audit, according to his statement, should assess the extent of damage and determine the scope of repair work required to restore the structure to safe operating standards.
The appeal underscores growing concerns about infrastructure maintenance in the region, with Nagenthran urging state authorities to prioritize public safety and initiate remedial work without further delay.
