Access to Metro station from Choolaimedu cut off

Residents have urged the Corporation to build a pathway

For many residents of Choolaimedu living behind Arumbakkam Metro Rail station, walking to the bus stop on Outer Ring Road or to the station has been arduous. P. Kaliyamoorthy, who has been living in Dayaluammal Street in Choolaimedu for five decades, said that 15 years ago, access was easier as there were not many buildings. “With time, many houses have come up. Now, it takes us about 10 minutes to reach the Arumbakkam bus stop or the Metro station,” he says.
