Delays in smart city works top Vellore’s woes
The Hindu
Though Vellore bagged the sixth place among cities with a population of less than a million in the Ease of Living Index, its residents feel there is still a long way to go. Delays in the completion of smart city works, dug-up roads and the mosquito menace are their main grievances.
The Vellore Assembly constituency, with over 2.5 lakh voters, has traditionally been a stronghold of the DMK. The party’s candidate, P. Karthikeyan, won the 2016 election by a margin of 26,411 votes over Harun Rasheed of the AIADMK.
