Buckingham Canal on MRTS stretch to become green plaza

The Buckingham Canal along the Kasturba Nagar-Thiruvanmiyur stretch of the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) is set to become an urban green plaza, similar to the T. Nagar pedestrian plaza. For years, the canal along this stretch has remained neglected with the growth of wild bushes, and the dumping of garbage and construction debris. Once the work is completed, the stretch, which runs parallel to the Information Technology Expressway, will become a green zone with several amenities for Adyar residents.
