So Called Beach Beautification

No one seems to realise that trees are also helping people to hide themselves and do whatever they want - resulting in the beach being misused for other activities.

Look at the Hazardous waste in the centre of the picture .

Have a look at the plastic waste on the beach front - this is located right opposite to the Police Head Quarters near Mahatma Gandhi Statue. Adding more pictures to this blog, I sincerely hope the residents of Chennai will understand that Beautification of the Beaches is totally uncalled for.


The Civil Society Group is fighting tooth and nail to ensure that the Chennai Corporation does not start its work on the Beautification project of the Elliots Beach.

Tha latest - The Corporation of Chennai wants to construct a 2.5 metre concreted paved pathway from Ashtalakshmi Temple in Besant Nagar to Vembuli Amman Temple in Thiruvanmiyur. They do not seem to have done a survey as the road narrows down to the sea at the end of 1st
Seaward Road, Valmiki Nagar, Thiruvanmiyur. Are they going to lay the path on the sea?

Now kindly look at these pictures and decide whether our Beaches need any Beautification.The pictures posted for you all to know that once the Corporation is allowed to put green patches, they will do it but WILL NOT MAINTAIN this and result will be like the pictures given.

Marina - Something green?

1. Rubbish with greenery? 2.A resting place in the name of Beautification?
3. Do we call this Green patch or brown patch?

Do we need our Beaches to be beautified.

The status of Marina Beach which was beautified long ago is now yearning for care - The Chennai Corporation is flooded with money by way of various taxes and decided to mess up the Beautiful Sandy beaches of the Chennai City by making green patches and walkways and also concrete paths to facilitate people to walk.

We have the beach sand to walk on - why do we need construction activity on the Beach? Why?

Can the Chennai Corporation lay the roads which are horrible in many places in the City?

I was at the Marina Beach at 10.30am on the 8th of February 2008. In the name of greenery, the Marina is crying Help, as this so called green patches are now dry and is it littered with plastics and people sleep and goats are grazing. Do we need all this on the beach????

I am adding a few photos for all to decide - Does the Chennai Corporation necessarily need to beautify our Beaches?
