Thodupuzha: Drinking water continues to flow unchecked along the Thodupuzha–Muvattupuzha road, as a burst pipeline has remained unrepaired for months.

The leak, on the middle of the road at Anakkoodu near Shappumpadi Junction, has persisted as authorities continue to turn a blind eye. A huge stone has been placed over the damaged section to prevent water from spurting upward.
