    Are pedestrians ‘dispensable’ at Millers Road junction? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Millers Road-Purasawalkam High Road junction is much trodden, being treated to the footwear of those standing on both sides of display cases at the shops on Purasawalkam High Road: shoppers and shopkeepers. On the way to these shops, their ability to keep a stiff upper lip and take unruly motoring behaviour in their stride is challenged at this junction. Obviously, those associated with the shopping experience constitute just one section of the suffering pedestrian population out there; ther

    Focus on ‘underbellies’ of flyovers (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    What verandahs are to sprawling bungalows, spaces-under-flyovers are to major roads. They catch the eye more than anything else, and help form an opinion of the rest of the house as well as the road. The spaces under flyovers in Chennai have often fared poorly, showcasing squalor more than beauty despite so-called beautification efforts. From time to time, residents have been witness to vertical gardens wilting and then progressively going from bad to worse, the containers going empty with the p

    Residents of Thambiah Road in West Mambalam want Tasmac outlet out of their midst soon (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Sometimes, a problem resolved at one place can show up uninvited at another. And that kind of “sometimes” is happening right now at Thambiah Road in West Mambalam. On this busy road, a Tasmac outlet had been proving to be an irritant for residents for years, inebriated patrons seeming to claim the space around the outlet and causing inconvenience to the public. This problem has now graduated to a full-blown issue, one residents can no longer shrug off. M. Govindarajan, a resident of Thambiah Roa

    When the Thousand Lights MLA ‘served’ with a ladle (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On July 22, when this daily annadanam, a free mid-day meal initiative by Teynampet resident D.M. Prakash crossed a milestone, clocking 750 days on the trot, the food was understandably grander than on earlier days. Not only what was offered but how it was offered stood out. Imagine being served food by the MLA of the region: that is exactly what unfolded at the event for a good number of the beneficiaries, foot soldiers on the thoroughfare of life for whom a lunch that comes without a bill helps

    Key link road behind DMS Metro in Teynampet leading to Gopalapuram hit by ‘blocks’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Muthiah Street in Vellala Teynampet, near Stella Maris College, provides access to DMS Metro station, and during rush hour, this street bustles with pedestrians and motorists. There is a never-ending parade of commuters during these hours, and their movement is hampered by haphazard parking of vehicles, largely those belonging to visitors to four shops on Muthiah Street. Offscourings from these shops left behind on the road add to the impediment. A resident of the area notes on condition of anon
