LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Sir, Sewage water has beenoverflowing from a drain forthe past one week inSivasailam Street, T. Nagar.

I have called Metrowateroffice and have also sent anonline complaint but no actionhas been taken so far to plugthe leakage.

The road is used by morethan 400 students on week-days to reach MCN Schoolnearby.

The overflow is emanating afoul smell and poses a healthhazard.

I appeal to the authorities totake immediate action to stop

Sewage overflow in Sivasailam Street

Timely action by civic authorities prevents traffic jam

the leakage. – R. Chandrasekaran, Sivasailam Street, T.Nagar.

Sir, I appreciate the work oftraffic police and Che-nnai Cor-poration officials who swunginto action in the early hourson Jan. 20 to remove an MTCbus, one of whose wheels hadgot stuck in a pit on 4th Avenue,near Jawahar Vidyalaya,Ashok Nagar. Traffic officialscoordinated with Corporationauthorities and pulled the busfree with the help of a bulldozerstationed nearby.

Since this happened ataround 8.30 a.m, the peak hourfor both school students andoffice goers, it could have cre-ated a major traffic jam, butthe authorities solved the prob-lem within 30 minutes and re-stored smooth flow of traffic.

The pit which was dug byMetrowater workers has not

been filled properly. – M. Seetharama Rao, Member-Secre-tary, Exnora – Chakrapani Street Extension, WestMambalam

Tenant verification is afutile exercise

Sir, The recent order of Com-missioner of Police to furnishdetails of tenants with photo-graphs to nearest police sta-tion in a prescribed format isnot practical and is not pos-sible for the following reasons:

1) Nowadays the rents arequite high and for a 900 sq.ftflat, it ranges between Rs.18000 to Rs. 20000 in T. Nagar/ Mambalam. It is hard to findfamilies who can afford suchrent and owners are often forcedto give it to working bachelors,especially women who thenshare the rent.

2) The tenants are reluc-tant to provide photos as man-dated by the police as they areafraid of undesired conse-quences.

2) It is another headache forthe owner when a tenant va-cates, as he will then have toprovide details of the new ten-ant to the police station. This isnot practical and what will thepolice do with so many forms,will it be filed and what aboutthe guarantee of security ofthe personal data.

3) Since the police are al-ready burdened with day-to-day law and order mainte-nance, why burden them withsuch a futile exercise whichinvolves lots of clerical work. –V. Thiagarajan, PostalColony 4th Street, WestMambalam

Residents told to chooseflyover design

In the first public referen-dum on a civic project inChennai, residents of T. Nagarhave been given the option tovote for and choose the best ofthree flyover designs.

Chennai Corporation invitedresidents of T. Nagar to a pub-lic hearing on Dec. 23 andshowed them three proposeddesigns to extend and connectthe congested South UsmanRoad and North Usman Roadflyovers.

They have 10 days to votefor the design they feel will workbest for the busy locality.Mayor Saidai Duraisamy saidthat the Corporation will, in alllikelihood, opt for the designthat wins the most votes.

Usman Road, with malls andstores selling everything fromjewellery to clothes and kitchenutensils across all price ranges,is a cauldron of vehicles, shop-pers and vendors between 9a.m and 9 p.m on all days withthe ill-conceived flyovers builtin a hurry more a hindrancethan a boon. With the numberof pedestrians and motoristsincreasing day by day, trafficpolicemen can only attempt tolimit the bedlam in an impos-sible situation.

The South Usman Roadflyover begins barely 50 metersfrom the T. Nagar bus termi-nus and ends in front of GRTThangamaligai. The NorthUsman flyover, also called theMahalingapuram Flyover,starts from Panagal Park andends at the KodambakkamHigh Road junction. The Cor-poration and the public havelong since given up on theflyovers as useless.

“The South Usman Roadflyover only helps commutersskip the Panagal Park junc-tion,” said Udaykumar, a rep-resentative of CMD Smith, theconsultant appointed by theCorporation to come up with asolution to the problem. “It doesnot even skip the Rangana-than Street junction, which isthe most congested part of thelocality.”

Residents say the flyovershave also made the roads oneither side very narrow. “Theflyovers were constructed with-

Residents to pick T.Nagar flyover design

out acquiring land on either sidefor proper roads, so the exist-ing roads are always con-gested,” said T. Babu, a resi-dent of T Nagar.

The Corporation decided tolink the two flyovers and ex-tend a single elevated road tillAnna Salai. This would allowmotorists to get from Maha-lingapuram to Anna Salai with-out getting stuck at any of thejunctions in the shopping hub.But consultants ruled out thepossibility of merging theflyovers because it will notbenefit enough motorists andwould require too much con-struction. “It will benefit only20% of the motorists,”Udaykumar said. “Most peopledo not pass through T. Nagarbut stop in the locality to shop,so we have to incorporate drop-off points in the flyover design.We cannot have only one longflyover,” he said.

CMD Smith came up withthree options that will allowmotorists to get to CIT Nagarfrom Mahalingapuram. TheCorporation and the consult-ant presented the designs toresidents with the Mayor say-ing that no land will be acquiredfor the project.

The first option is to extendthe South Usman Road flyover— where there is the most con-gestion — on the southern sidetill just ahead of Boag Road.The North Usman Roadflyover will be left untouched.“This flyover will bypassRanganathan Street and theMadley Road junction,” saidUdaykumar. This option willcost Rs. 260 crores and requireland to be acquired for the ex-tended part of the flyover to be10 meters wide.

Pedestrian subways will be

provided across Madley Roadand Duraisamy Road. The roadbetween Duraisamy Road junc-tion and Madley Road junctionwill be only for pedestrians.

The second option, which willcost Rs. 384 crores, is to ex-tend the South Usman Roadflyover both south and north,to just before Boag Road on thenorthern side and beyond theBazullah Road junction at theother end, to within 100 metersfrom the North Usman Roadflyover. The North UsmanRoad flyover will remain un-touched in this plan too.

The third option, which willcost Rs. 342 crores, involvesthe extension of the SouthUsman Road flyover asplanned, but with the construc-tion of a new flyover on thenorthern side from the GRTThangamaligai junction to 100meters of the North UsmanRoad flyover. The new flyoverwill be connected to the SouthUsman Road flyover at a heightof 2 meters, with a pedestriancrossing where they meet.

Residents who attended theDec. 23 meeting appeared un-sure as to which design is best,but a majority appeared toprefer either the second or thirdoption. Giving them more timeto think it out, the Mayor askedresidents to email their choiceto mayor@chennaicorporation.gov.in and udayakumarr@cdmsmith.com) in 10 days.Drawings of the three designsare on the Corporation web-site.

The consultants said thatthe road has traffic of between4,000 and 6,000 passenger carunits per hour. Usman Road is3.5 km. long and the two sub-ways are each 800 meters long.
