46 families need to be shifted to alternative location, says K.N. Nehru
Minister for Municipal Administration K.N. Nehru on Wednesday said the Elephant Gate bridge work is expected to be completed by July this year.
After inspecting the ongoing construction work with senior officials from Greater Chennai Corporation, he said the completion of the work depended on shifting 46 families who resided near the bridge. The families would be provided accommodation in alternative locations.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
