CMDA evades RTI query onillegal structures in T. Nagar

By Our Staff ReporterAfter the recent devastation of Chennai Silks building by fire,

the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA)has declined to provide information under the Right to Informa-tion Act (RTI) on the action taken against seven other struc-tures in T. Nagar which had violated building norms.

The petitioner, B. Kannan (Secretary, T. Nagar Residents’Welfare Association), had sought details of action againstthe buildings, largely comprising textile and jewellery shopsin T. Nagar, based on an order of the Madras High Courtin 2016. According to Kannan, the CMDA had filed an affidavitin the High Court last year stating that action has been takenby issuing notices to the respective buildings and the exercisewill be completed within four weeks. The planning authoritywas directed to file a compliance report in this regard on June3, 2016, he said.

“Now a year later when I sought information under RTIabout the current status and action initiated against the saidbuildings, the planning authority refused to give any informa-tion,” said Kannan.

He said that in its reply to his RTI, CMDA has stated thatas the compilation of information from various records andregisters requires enormous time, it cannot be provided.

The Y-shaped Rangarajapuram flyover connects Kodambakkamwith T. Nagar.

The flyover that was constructed to ease traffic congestion has,instead, only worsened the situation due to violation of the 1-way ruleby motorists.

The northern arm of the flyover lands on Station Border Road onKodambakkam side which is already congested due to encroachmentby eateries and other roadside vendors and proximity to Kodambakkamsuburban station. Though only entry from Station Border Road isallowed on this arm of the flyover, vehicle drivers unabashedly violatethe rule, and vehicles coming from Bazullah Road side use this one-waypath instead of going via the southern arm of the flyover to save somedistance.

During peak hours, the traffic almost comes to a standstill whichthen affects the traffic flow on the whole flyover and also on all theconnecting roads of Station Border Road. Further, both the arms of theflyover were designed for 1-way traffic and the lanes are narrow andnot suited for 2-way traffic.

A number of minor accidents have been reported on this stretch dueto the violation of the 1-way rule.

Vidya (a resident of AryaGowda Road) told MambalamTimes that the price of a salwarsuit offered in a shop after Aadidiscount of 50% and addingGST was higher by Rs. 250

than a similar one she hadpurchased during the stockclearance sale in the same shopin the last week of June.

Many shops have also cuttheir inventory and preferredto sell old stocks in a wait-and-watch approach to see theimpact of GST on their sales.This too has led to depletion ofstocks in many shops includ-ing big showrooms.
