Concerns Raised by Vellore Residents Over Delays in Smart Cities Mission Project Ahead of 2026 Tamil Nadu Elections

A resident of Vellore has expressed concerns regarding the utilization of taxpayer funds for recent infrastructure projects in the area. The resident claims that the quality of work performed under the project has been subpar, leading to ongoing issues such as improper re-laying of damaged road sections. This has reportedly resulted in waterlogging during periods of rain, exacerbating traffic issues and posing safety risks for commuters.

The Vellore constituency is currently facing multiple challenges related to urban infrastructure and traffic management. In addition to the problems with road repairs, there have been increased reports of traffic rule violations, which contribute to congestion and hazards on the roadways. Local authorities are being urged to address these pressing issues to improve the overall condition of public infrastructure and enhance the safety and quality of life for residents in the area.
