Flowering plants come up at ‘black spots’ outside crematorium

Members of Anna Nagar Western Extension Phase II raise a garden to prevent littering and open urination

Bougainvilleas will soon bloom at TVS Colony Main Road near Officers’ Colony and the burial ground.

In November, residents of Anna Nagar Western Extension Phase II planted nearly 40 bougainvillea saplings at select spots outside these facilities to deter people from littering and urinating there.

N Prasanth, secretary of the resident’s association, points out that residents are monitoring the growth of the saplings and hopes that when it grown, these plants would serve the purpose for which they have been planted.
