‘Temple occupies footpath, hindering movement of public’
Residents of Rathna Nagar in Teynampet have complained to the Greater Chennai Corporation about encroachments on the footpath and appealed to the civic officials to create space for pedestrians. Chennai Corporation officials at the ward 122 are yet to stop the construction of a structure, even after receiving the complaint a few weeks ago. “We have two entrances to our street, one is next to the Apollo Speciality Hospital in Teynampet and the other entrance is on Cenotaph Road near the Toyota showroom. Our street has a long history dating back to the 1970s and currently even have some world renowned residents. There are a few illegal religious structures on this street. The most conspicuous of them all is the Amman Temple in front of the property in New No.23, Rathna Nagar, Teynampet. The temple is being managed by a few politicians in the area through which they claim their right to the area and throw their weight around," a resident complained.More Related News
