‘Mend the road in Medavakkam’

Parts of Babu Nagar First Main Road in Medavakkam seem to be caked with mud, illustrating what residents would be undergoing. Due to successive infrastructural works, the road has not been allowed to "recover" to wholeness. “On March 9, an ambulance carrying a deceased person was not able to pass through Babu Nagar First Main Road beyond a point as it was not in a motorable condition. Thereafter, the deceased had to be carried by people to the house. It is eight months since work on laying underground electricity cables got completed on this road. However, it has not been relaid yet,” says A. Sathik, a resident of Babu Nagar.
