Space for pedestrians usurped on Kodambakkam road
The Hindu
Even with a mild downpour, this road gets noticeably innundated
Haphazard parking of vehicles and encroachments on Station Border Road in Kodambakkam are forcing pedestrians to walk on the carriageway.
“Pedestrians have to walk at their own risk on the main road, which hinders a free flow of vehicular traffic,” says S. Parvathi, a resident of Kodambakkam.
On one side of the road (where traffic moves towards Arcot Road), there is no footpath. On the other side (which is towards the Rangarajapuram flyover), the slabs on the footpath are broken and hence uneven. Besides, all kinds of waste are dumped. In some spots, waste bins are placed.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
