In a move that has been largely welcomed by motorists, the city police on Tuesday opened Anna Nagar Link Road near MGR Statue Junction at Cantonment to provide a direct link to Lawsons Road.
Ever since the Anna Nagar Link Road was built and opened in 2015, police had kept barricaded one of the lanes, leading towards the Lawsons Road, apparently to avert congestion at MGR Statue Junction. Consequently, motorists, including mofussil buses, had to take a detour by turning left at the junction and go via the narrow Parangiri Park roundabout.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
