New Chennai Foundation - Complaints List 25th January 2009

A member of New Chennai Foundation has reported yesterday the list of complaints he feels in Chennai. I would like to list it in the public for everyone's attention.
Thank you Sam Kappa Venkatesh!

Periyar Bus Stand

The overhead walkway near Periyar Bus Stand is stinking and is closed. Let us construct a new elevated walkway between Periyar and Meenakshi temple via complex bus stand. The same can be extended from Periyar BS to Railway Station. According to my grandfather in Mumbai one overhead walkway has been constructed for 1.5 KMS in Mumbai.


Airport Road

It is a nightmare to reach the airport via Therkku vasal as the roads are encroached (from Therkku vasal to Avaniapuram). Remember we are getting visitors through these roads. Corporation/Highway use your Bulldozers.


Tea Shops

Tea/coffee shops in Chennai serve us tea while we stand on platforms. Cities like Erode and Coimbatore have seats inside the shop where one can have tea in a hygienic way. Vadai is also made outside the shop. Come on Chennai sit and relax a cuppa tea.
Drink tea in shops where seat is offered.

Spitting

Chennai people seem to spit more on the roads. Why?

Drainage

To all Civil Engineers of Chennai, Why drainage and manholes are constructed in the middle of the road. We know it is a nuisance as the roads become uneven with the manhole in the centre, Dangerous during rainy season particularly if the manhole lid is missing. Can't the drainage constructed on the roadside instead of road centre?

What if Chennai does not develop and what will happen to Chennai in next 30 years?

What if Chennai does not develop and what will happen to Chennai in next 30 years?

This article is my own personal, individual prediction, thinking and not intended to hurt anyone.

My grandfather was born and brought up in Vadivelkarai, a village in Chennai. For job reasons, my father had to search and find job in Chennai, which is a major city near the village. When I completed my graduation, I had to move to Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and US.

I am going to compare the same situation to Chennai today. Given that Chennai does not get any industries; Chennai is contaminated with same politicians and no development happens; Chennai does not improve its infrastructure; Chennai does not germinate more and more entrepreneurs, then in 20-30 years Chennai would become the same Vadivelkarai situation, as I explained in the previous paragraph.

Old, elderly people and last generation folks would only stay on in Chennai.
Politicians, Vatti-kku panam koduppavan, few government officials, Old shop owners.

I hope and trust this should not happen and I wish inverse of this happens. Chennai develops and a reverse brain drain happens. Everyone from Chennai who have gone out of the city should come back and develop the Chennai city.
