Nagar Chennai Corporation s plans to decongest T. Nagar seem to be stuck in a bottleneck. Even as World Bank has asked for fresh reports regarding environment issues before releasing funds for the proposed pedestrian plaza, the Corporation engineers are struggling to get traffic and parking facilities right. The plaza, meant to be a walkers paradise, will stretch from Panagal Park to Anna Salai, a distance of 1.4 kilometres. Engineers say it would be practical to first take up and complete the multi-level parking project as that has also been proposed, in the same location, at Panagal Park. But senior officials of the corporation are reportedly keen to develop the plaza first as it would take only 6 months. The underground parking project is likely to take three years. An official said that the primary problem once either of the work starts is parking issues. Even on a normal day, it s difficult to manage this area and traffic diversions are yet to be worked out, he said. He said that about seven interior roads have been identified for parking but that too will create traffic jams as the roads are not that wide. We are also looking at school grounds, he added. If the multilevel parking is completed before taking up the pedestrian plaza, then it will all be hasslefree, he concluded. The multi-level parking will come up at Bashyam Road (T. Nagar), adjacent to Panagal Park. The facility was initially designed to comprise six levels and be able to hold around 510 four-wheelers and 918 twowheelers. But since the façade and view of Panagal Park would be affected, the parking lot is being re-designed to be made fully underground. The plaza starting from Bashyam Road near Panagal Park up to Dr. Nair Road in the first phase will have will have an exclusive side of the road for cyclists and pedestrians and the other side for MTC buses. The stretch from Dr. Nair Road through the junction of North and South Boag Road up to Anna Salai where it ends it will be four track lane for all vehicles and pedestrians. OBITUARY Vinayagar idols to be immersed in sea on Sept. 7 Hundreds of huge idols put up by various organizations for Vinayagar Chaturthi at the busy junctions of T. Nagar, West Mambalam, Ashok Nagar, K. K. Nagar, MGR Nagar and nearby areas will taken in a procession for immersion in the sea near Foreshore Estate on Sunday, Sept. 7.

5 September 6-12, 2014 Bharati Nagar residents affected by traffic diversions Traffic diversions owing to major civic projects have changed the quality of life for hitherto quiet residential colonies. Bharati Nagar which is just off North Usman Road (T. Nagar) used to be a serene neighbourhood. Ever since Kodambakkam Bridge restoration was undertaken, traffic has been diverted through this neighbourhood. Radhika, a homemaker, said that earlier, evenings were a pleasant time to take a walk and catch up with other residents. Now our lives have been invaded by honking vehicles, dust and pollution. My son used to safely bicycle to school, but now every day I am scared for his safe return through the speeding traffic, she said. With repair work on Kodambakkam Bridge being delayed indefinitely, we wonder when we will get relief from this traffic menace, she added. Free 12-day Narayaneeyam course from Monday Bhama Krishnan will conduct a free 12-day Narayaneeyam course for women and students from Monday, Sept. 8, in Sunshine Apartments, 4 B H Block, 32, West Jones Road, Saidapet. The classes will be held over two weeks, from Monday to Saturday, from 10 a.m to 1 p.m. The 1036 Narayaneeyam Sanskrit slokas with their Tamil meanings will be taught. For more details, please contact Bhama Krishnan in or Ramani in Indian Bank conducts account opening drive in Noon Meal Center Indian Bank (South Usman Road, T. Nagar) conducted new savings account opening drive under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana on Aug. 28 in Noon Meal Centre, Kamaraj Colony, T. Nagar. More than 200 accounts were opened and passbooks distributed to the account holders. Idols handed over to Vinayagar Kuzhus for immersion at sea With water drying up in the wells in the city, many residents in the neighbourhood were concerned about where to immerse the small Vinayagar idols kept at their homes. However after reading the report last week in Mambalam Times, a number of devotees handed over the idols to Vinayagar kuzhus for dumping them in the sea. Hundreds of clay idols are being collected by organizers and they will be immersed in the sea along with huge idols put up by them. The idols will be immersed on Sunday, Sep. 7. Still many residents have dumped Vinayagar idols near temples and on pavements instead of immersing them. Due to religious sentiments, conservancy workers do not clear them along with regular garbage. World Bank asks Corporation to reassess pedestrian plaza project The World Bank has advised Chennai Corporation to submit a fresh report on the environmental and social impact of the proposed pedestrian plaza project in T. Nagar. The study by the Chennai Corporation is also expected to assess the impact of the project on reducing extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. The Rs. 83-crore pedestrian plaza, part of the T. Nagar redevelopment proposal, had already been approved by the Corporation Council a few months ago. Funding for the project will not be approved without a proper study of the social and environmental aspects of such an innovative urban infrastructure project, said officials. Work on commissioning the plaza with a commercial theme was expected to begin this month. But the requirement of MAMBALAM TIMES Page 5 Namasankeerthanam in Sankara Math tomorrow Sringeri Sankara Math (Sharada Temple, Krupasankari Street, West Mambalam) will hold Namasankeerthanam by Kumbakonam Ananthanarayana Bhagavathar and party on Sunday, Sept. 7, from 7.15 p.m to 9.15 p.m at its premises. Police to use webcast technology to monitor idol immersion The immersion of idols in the sea off the city beaches on Sep. 6 and 7 at the conclusion of the Vinayaka Chathurthi celebrations will be monitored with the help of hi-tech measures, including live webcast. Ten special police units armed with high-definition video cameras attached to a live unit will go round the city, capturing images and streaming live content to the offices of the commissioner, additional commissioners and joint commissioners in all four zones. Special attention will be paid to the main immersion points at Kasimedu, Neelankarai, Foreshore Estate, Ennore, and Thiruvottiyur. More than 6000 idols are expected to be submerged in the sea. 18,000 policemen are expected to be on duty monitoring the assigned routes, immersion locations and sensitive places like Washermenpet, Pulianthope, Kodambakkam, Egmore, Triplicane, KK Nagar, Selaiyur, Tambaram and Velachery from where the idols will be taken in processions to the immersion points. a new study is likely to delay the project, they said. The plaza is likely to become operational by May next year. The levels of pollution caused by traffic diversions, the increased number of visitors to T. Nagar, the rise in garbage collection and heightened commercial activity will also be assessed. Displacement of hawkers and impact on their livelihood will be part of the study. Talk on Thiru Arutpa on Tuesday Under the auspices of Vallalar Sanmargasangam (V.O.C Street, MGR Nagar, Ph: ), Dr. M.A. Hussain will give a discourse on Thiru Arutpa Jothiyum Arul Jothiyum on Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 6 p.m in Sakthi Vinayagar Temple (P.T.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Appeal to replace damaged garbage bin on Sir, Further to a letter published in Mambalam Times three weeks ago about a damaged garbage bin on Kripa Shankari Street (West Mambalam), a Corporation official immediately responded Kripa Shankari Street and promised the bin will be replaced in a couple of days. However, even today the situation is the same. The area remains littered with garbage. Cattle, stray dogs and vermin continue to have a field day rummaging through the garbage. The surrounding area stinks and is a health hazard to nearby residents. I have also made an online complainant to the Chennai Corporation. I hope at least this letter opens the eyes of the officials and the damaged bin gets replaced by a new one. K.

Ph: , , mambalamtimes@yahoo.co.in Web: Sir, Garbage, food waste and plastic bags are often dumped at the junction of Shyamala Vadana Street and Umapathy Street Extension, near Kali Bari Temple (West Mambalam). It remains uncollected for days and poses a health hazard to nearby residents and passersby. It is also unholy being close to such an important shrine in the neighbourhood. Passersby also misuse the spot as a urinal. I appeal to the civic authorities to either declare it as a non-litter zone or at least provide a dust bin. R. Suraj, West Mambalam Will the pedestrian plaza project affect residents? Sir, This letter refers to the State Government s proposed construction of pedestrian plaza in T. Nagar at an estimated cost of Rs. 83 crores with aid from World Bank. After initial approval, the World Band has now advised the Corporation to conduct a fresh study on the environmental and the social impact of the project. The study would, inter alia, ascertain the levels of pollution owing to traffic diversions, increased number of visitors, impact on the livelihood of hawkers, garbage collection and heightened commercial activities during implementation of the project. But sadly, how the project can affect the lives of the local residents like me who have been living here for decades has been conveniently ignored. Is the livelihood of hawkers more precious than the lives of so many residents who stay put amid a variety of problems? The World Bank should insist upon the Chennai Corporation to study the existing infrastructure in T. Nagar with respect to the safety and security of the residents, traders and shoppers. Encroachment and lack of fire safety mechanisms in shops and commercial establishments are the bane of T. Nagar and completely overlooked by the authorities. Unless these are first addressed, any plan to re-develop T Nagar will be insensitive and detrimental. T. Nagar Residents Welfare Association, 30, Rangan Street, T. Nagar Commercial encroachments create hazard Sir, The report Police clear way for ambulance on Ranganathan Street published in last week s issue of Mambalam Times is a classic example of a crisis waiting to happen in the congested sections of T. Nagar commercial areas. I appreciate the action of the traffic officials in clearing the way for the ambulance and saving a life. However something like this was imminent to happen. With no proper mecha- COLOUR: Full Page :Rs. 36,000 Half Page :Rs. 19,000 Ear Panel on Page 1 Rs Per Column cm Rs. 190 First Page : Rs. 240 Last Page : Rs. 210 nism in regulating the construction of high rise commercial complexes in T. Nagar (especially in the narrow lanes), imagine the catastrophe that can happen if there is a huge fire. The fire personnel will struggle to control it and many lives will be put at risk. To add to the problems is the number of encroachments in these lanes. Even walking on these streets is often a problem, especially during festival days. Even the authorized shops and commercial establishments usurp sizeable areas on the street in front of their shops to display their wares. It is high time the civic authorities preempt the problems and find a solution to ensure the safety and security of one and all who visit T. Nagar. V.S. Jayaraman, Rangan Street, T. Nagar
