Work on a ‘project’ at Besant Avenue Road leaves electrical ducts damaged. Spark takes up the issue with GCC, and the exercise has been put on hold
Last week, the Bus Route Roads Department of the Greater Chennai Corporation removed slabs from the footpath, for a length of 150 metres, on Besant Avenue Road, near The Theosophical Society. There is still not complete clarity on what the Greater Chennai Corporation is planning to execute on this section of the footpath. However, members of Spark, a city-based civic forum, say that according to information available with them, the civic body is working on a plan to turn this section of the footpath into a natural heritage area, with photography allowed. T. D. Babu, founder, Spark, says this development raises concern at multiple levels.More Related News
