For the first time in its history, Krishnapuram Residents’ Association had missed its annual general meeting, with the question of conducting it dragging on for a year. Thanks to the pandemic, the 30-year-old RWA in Ambattur could not conduct its AGM, supposed to have been conducted in September 2020. “There was no way we would get a quorum as COVID-19 cases were still high in Chennai,” says S Muralikrishna, advisor to the Association. The department of registration came to the rescue of many such RWAs like Krishnapuram that are registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975, by extending the deadline till December 2020.
