A ‘parking lot’ for seized vehicles in Chennai
The Hindu
The new footpaths at P.T. Rajan Salai in K.K. Nagar have been converted into a ‘parking lot’, not by residents or motorists visiting the locality. It is the K.K. Nagar police, with their seized vehicles — two-wheelers and auto-rickshaws — occupying a section of the footpaths on both sides of the road. With the Sivan Park nearby, the footpaths on P.T. Rajan Salai are well-hoofed.
They were built in February 2020 following the widening of stormwater drains by Greater Chennai Corporation.
