Residents living in Santosham Nagar under Ward 100 of the Madurai Corporation have alleged that they have been suffering for several years due to the lack of basic civic amenities in the locality. The residential area, situated on the road connecting Avaniyapuram Bypass Road and Periyar Nagar, is home to more than 500 families who continue to face severe hardships because of poor infrastructure.

Residents further claimed that potholes and poor maintenance have increased the risk of accidents in the area.
