The portion of his property, which was not acquired, lies very next to the National Highways, near Bridge No.413/1, on the western side. 3. Before formation of National Highways by natural physical features, the water was flowing into nearby Kallaru Odai. At the time of formation of National Highways, the petitioner and other residents were assured that at the time of completion of the National Highways, proper drainage facilities would be constructed. However, the authorities failed to provide drainage channel. The formation of National Highways altered the natural physical features and flow of water to Kallaru Odai was stopped. In view of the same, the water enters into the petitioner's house and other houses and stagnates in the Village. Number of representations were made for constructing the drainage channel, but no action was taken.
