VGN Minerva residents Getting Support of Deputy Mayor
VGN Minerva residents are lucky enough... Wonder Why?
Because they have Deputy Mayor of Chennai living behind them in S&P Foundation and he is listening to their Civic problems...
Will other Nolambur residents have the same luck ?
Should try to meet and pass the concerns, before deciding on luck... Right !!!
Here is the news coverage by Indian Express and IBN Live
A march for better civic amenities
CHENNAI: For quite a while now, residents of Nolambur have constantly complained about the deplorable condition of roads and of garbage remaining uncleared in the area. But not stopping with merely complaining about the state of affairs, close to a hundred residents from the VGN Minerva Housing Complex decided to march to their neighbour’s house and ask for some help. “When we read that P Benjamin had been elected Deputy-Mayor, we realised that we had a neighbour who could make a change,” said N Mathivanan, who initiated the march. It of course helped that Benjamin, the elected councillor of Nolambur, happened to live almost in the adjoining compound.
“We sent a mail out asking for members to sign a petition about the amenities we needed and then, we fixed upon the idea of walking to his house and explaining our problems,” he added. On Saturday morning, out of the 572 flats in the complex, close to 80 persons landed up nice and early, ready to go meet the Deputy Mayor. They were joined by another 20 residents from another residential colony nearby and the march was underway. “When we met him (Benjamin), he was very gracious and invited us in. However, because we could not all fit into his home, we had an informal meeting outside where he promised us that he would come to our complex with officials soon,” stated the resident.
Much to their surprise, though they did not expect any immediate response, Deputy Mayor Benjamin along with Corporation and Municipality officials arrived at the Complex before 11 am and asked them to explain exactly what problems they faced. The overwhelmed residents then poured out their concerns: bad approach roads for nearly three kilometres from the main road, industrial waste dumped in empty plots overnight, no public transport and no streetlights.
After listening to the various issues, he ordered immediate patchwork and said that other amenities would be provided after ‘consultation with concerned officials’, said Mathivanan. “He has assured us that we will be able to see a change in one month and we are confident that he will deliver.” he added.

4-Lane Bridge In Nerkundram To Link Poonamallee High Rd With Mogappair

Elevated bridge to be built over Cooum4-Lane Bridge In Nerkundram To Link Poonamallee High Rd With MogappairJeeva | TNN
Chennai: Residents of Mogappair will soon have better connectivity to Poonamallee High Road, thanks to a 100-ftlong, four-lane, elevated bridge that will be constructed over the Cooum river near the MGR University in Nerkundram.
The state highways department has called for tenders for the project and will issue the work order next month. The bridge will cost Rs 16 crore.
The need for such a bridge has been a long-pending demand. The existing road-level bridge over the Cooum, constructed about four decades ago, is in a dilapidated state and could collapse any time. The bridge does not even have parapet walls on either side and poses a hazard to users of the stretch, particularly at night. “There is an urgent need to build a new bridge here since the existing bridge has almost collapsed. Pedestrians and vehicle users have to be very cautious here. The danger is more at night when visibility is poor,’’ said Gopinath, a motorist.
The highways department’s move has evoked a welcome response from residents in Mogappair and Nerkundram.
“Once the new bridge is built, more people will prefer to use the adjoining Mogappair East Main Road, which links Tirumangalam Main Road near the Golden Flats bus stop to Poonamallee High Road in Nerkundram. It can even be made a bus-route road since it will reduce the travelling distance between Nerkundram and Tirumangalam Main Road, from six to three km. Similarly, people from Ambattur Industrial Estate can reach the Koyambedu bus terminus without passing Collector Nagar and Tirumangalam junction. The bridge can also lead to the introduction of a direct bus service from Avadi and Ambattur to Nerkundram, Maduravoyal and Vanagaram,’’ said Anantharaman, a Mogappair resident and a regular on MTC buses.
Currently, there is no direct bus service from Nerkundram and Maduravoyal to Ambattur Industrial Estate.
While highways officials said that the new bridge was scheduled to be completed in 18 months from the date of commencement of work, residents in the area urged authorities to ensure that there was no delay in the commencement and completion of construction work.

MODERN MAKEOVER: The road bridge across the river Cooum linking Mogappair with Poonamallee High Road is in a dilapidated condition. This will be replaced with a four-lane elevated bridge
