2 Page II LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Staff shortage at Lake View Road ration shop Sir, The ration shop no. HC009 which was in a dilapidated condition was to be shifted to a new location on Lake View Road. However, the decision was rescinded at the last minute and it is now operating out of shop no. HC007 (off Rameswaram Road) for the past several months which itself is located in a makeshift shed. This has burdened the consumers as the shop is not able to handle the additional quota. With limited space, the staff of both the shops operates under severe stress. Furthermore, the shops share only one electronic scale for weighment and just one assistant to deliver the articles to the cardholders for both the shops. Owing to fear of depletion of stock of essential commodities, cardholders queue up during the first three/four days of every month with the result that there is utter chaos due to shortage of space and staff at both the shops. Moreover there are a couple of industrial units and a poorly maintained canteen close by which are not keeping the surroundings clean. At night the surroundings are converted into an open urinal. The issue was also brought to the notice of V. P. Kalairajan (T. Nagar MLA) in November last year and he had immediately spoken to the Asst. Commissioner (Civil Supplies). The Association had also written a number of letters to the AC with copies to higher officials. However no action has been taken so far to find a new location for shop. At least till such time an alternative premises is found for HC009, it is incumbent upon the authorities to deploy the minimum required staff so as to ease the pressure now being felt by the cardholders. V.N.S. Jayaraman, Secretary, T. Nagar Residents Welfare Association, 30, Rangan Street, T. Nagar Garbage enclosures a health hazard to residents Sir, On 10 th Avenue, close to its junction with Govindan Street, Ashok Nagar, the Corporation has constructed a 20-foot-long enclosure on the pavement to keep garbage bins. The garbage enclosure adjoins the compound of my house. The door to the enclosure is always open which gives access to passerby to use it as an open urinal. Even passing vehicle drivers relieve themselves here as it affords privacy. During early mornings and at nighttime, the enclosure is also misused as a toilet. The enclosure and its surroundings stinks throughout the day and me and my family members are the most affected by it as our house adjoins the enclosure. I have written to the Corporation officials and also the Mayor to relocate the enclosure to a non-residential area but to no effect. Such large enclosures are found in a number of residential places in the city and the story is the same everywhere. The Corporation should assess the difficulties and health issues of the public before erecting garbage enclosures in residential areas. I hope the concerned authorities act soon to my grievance. V.K. Natarajan, 1 st floor, Kala Flats, 10 th Avenue, Ashok Nagar By Our Staff Reporter Ramakrishna Mission (Durais a m y Road, T. Nagar) has been distributing free buttermilk to the Ramakrishna Mission distributes free buttermilk thirsty since May 1, from 9 a.m to 5 p.m, outside its premises. According to Swami Yethuanandha (Ashram member), buttermilk was prepared with 100 liters of milk on the first day and has since been increased to 150 liters due to increasing demand. Its members, including the youth, volunteer in the distribution. He said that the Ashram has been distributing free buttermilk for the past 10 years. Anyone can donate milk for the cause, he added.

Nagar skywalk project in public meet Chennai Mayor Saidai S Duraisamay, along with Corporation officials and project consultants, held a meet with representatives of residents, commercial establishments and roadside vendors of Mambalam and T. Nagar on May 6 at Ripon Building to alleviate the concerns regarding its proposed pedestrian skywalk project in T. Nagar. The skywalk is expected to reduce pedestrian-vehicular conflict in the congested neighbourhood. The Corporation in March had approved the feasibility reports for the skywalk linking Mambalam Suburban Railway Station with T. Nagar Bus Terminus and another connecting Fort Station with Parry s Corner. The proposed L-shaped T. Nagar skywalk will be 600 meters long and will have four entry and exit points. It will also have ramps and escalators for the convenience of the pedestrians. The two skywalks will be disabled-friendly, and will have escalators and multiple entry and exit points. They will also be fitted with LED lights, solar panels, CCTVs, sign boards, fire extinguishers, ladders, dustbins, flower pots and rainwater harvesting systems. A vendor representative said that they sell goods on the streets and if the skywalk is constructed, pedestrians will use it, affecting their livelihood. The authorities convinced the vendors that the skywalk will leave ample road space and will not disturb shops. However some resident representatives said that if the hawkers were removed, there would be enough road space for pedestrians and there would be no need for a skywalk which over time would also get encroached.
