The Mettur constituency in Tamil Nadu faces issues such as traffic congestion, inadequate streetlights on a state highway, and inconsistent water supply to its municipalities. Residents have raised concerns about the location of a Tasmac outlet near the Kolathur bus stand, lack of proper lighting on a stretch between Mettur, Kullarampatti, Masilapalayam, Viralikadu, Perumal Kovil, Moolakadu, and Kolathur Junction, and inadequate drinking water supply. R. Sakthivel, a resident of Mettur Municipality, has also highlighted the need for a lift irrigation scheme to address water scarcity in the area. C. Sekar, a resident of Mecheri, demands the creation of a new taluk for Mecheri due to its distance from the existing Mettur taluk and the delay in widening roads. G.
