Shade nets offer drivers respite from heat in Karaikal

In a bid to provide relief from the scorching summer, the Public Works Department (PWD) has installed shade nets at multiple locations across Karaikal town.

According to a senior PWD official, the initiative covers more than 10 locations, including key junctions near the Karaikal bus stand and along Thirunallar Road. The shade nets have been set up at bus stops that lack permanent shelters.
