A Dinamalar TV report has drawn attention to civic issues in Usilampatti, described as the hometown of Minister Nirmal Kumar.

The video points to road damage on the Madurai route, with residents questioning when the road will be properly laid after gravel was reportedly dumped about two months ago.

It also highlights the lack of basic facilities for devotees at the Karuppusamy temple, including essential amenities such as toilets.

The report, published on July 25, 2026, urges authorities to address the pending road work and improve basic infrastructure around the temple area.
