Chennai Corporation & widening roads.

The Corporation of Chennai is on a spree to widen roads in the city of Chennai.

Wonder why the inter-locking tiles were removed on the pavements of the beach and granite tiles are being. The inter-locking tiles will ensure rain water is absorbed but the granite tiles are defintely going to flood the place in case of heavy rains.

PLUS SENIOR CITIZENS WATCH OUT - THE TILES ARE DEFINITELY SLIPPERY.

THIS IS ONE MORE STATE IN THE COUNTRY WHICH DOES NOT CARE FOR ITS SENIOR CITIZENS - THEY ONLY TALK BUT DO NOT SHOW IN ACTION.

Earlier, if you were walking comfortably in your colony or neighbourhood, then today you have every chance of tripping and falling and may be even breaking your arm or femur, thanks to the roads being dug up for either extension or paving the area for laying pavements.

The Corporation has dug up roads and have not proceeded with this work as many people who wholeheartedly work for the sake of environment have protested - the contractors of the Corporation have cemented the trees roots in Sastri Nagar and when the local AC of Zone 10 was approached - he said that the Contractor was out of town and we will have to wait for a few days.
I protested vociforously saying ' if someone asked for water when he is dying, you would bring water only on the 10th day of his demise'. Such is the callous nature with which you treat the trees in the city which are age old ones.

He called the local AE and told him to remove the concrete surrounding the trees immediately. I only hope the Vigilantees of trees will keep an eye and inform the authorities about any tree bring covered with concrete.

If you are unable to reach any official call me through this space by giving a comment.

Let us all get together and fight injustice towards our environment.
