Tamil Maanila Congress (Moopanar) cadre staged a demonstration near Bhavani on Monday (July 20) urging the Union and State governments to construct a flyover at the Lakshmi Nagar–Konavaikkal Ring Road junction on the National Highway.
The protesters alleged that the newly laid Ring Road from Bhavani does not connect directly with the bypass at Konavaikkal. Instead, motorists have to travel up to the Lakshmi Nagar police check-post before joining the route, making the Ring Road inconvenient and limiting its use.
The demonstration, held at Konavaikkal, was organised by the TMC to press its long-standing demand for a flyover to provide seamless connectivity between the Ring Road and the National Highway. The protest was led by P. Vijayakumar, Erode Urban District president of the Tamil Maanila Congress (Moopanar). Former MLA Vidiyal S. Sekar inaugurated the demonstration.
