Coimbatore: City Corporation on Monday removing the barricade placed by a resident of Nehru West Nagar near the Kalapti to Cordon from the public route so they can use the way for themselves.
Immediately after, the road opened for public purposes.
The resident group penetrated the 30-foot lane seven years ago, preventing access to other residents, and farmers, who have land parcels adjacent to the road.
“Villa developers allocated a road for roads under the Pancrayat Kalapatti in 2015.
The area is under the corporation when the city limits are expanded,” said an official from the corporate city planning department.
“After receiving a complaint, we surveyed the road and checked the record.
When confirmed that the road was a public road, the barricade was removed on Monday,” the official said.
The road was taken without resistance from encroachment, which was told earlier about illegal work, other officials said.
