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?

Nice reporting there.
Think of ways to send links to Mayor and Commr. To the CMs office and to newspaper folks so that more is written.

I have asked my photographer to shoot the newly done work opp the Fort St George to show how money is thrown into stylish pavements while the green trees and lawns are not maintained.

We shd not only stop the project but get the monies into an acct for maintenance.
