Mambalam civic problems to be discussed in meet

By Our Staff Reporter

CHENNAI, SEPT. 8. The demand for a foot overbridge across the railway line, connecting West Mambalam and Ranganathan Street and the action taken on it so far, will be discussed by area residents at a meeting on Sunday.

Despite being centrally located, and boasting a bustling commercial area, Mambalam is neglected in many respects, the residents say. The meeting will be held under the aegis of the Mambalam Exnora Innovators Club, at 29, Janakiraman Street, West Mambalam, at 4 p.m.

Among the residents' demands are a pedestrian subway to connect Mambalam and its western half from Ranganathan Street, restoration of lights in the Duraiswamy Road subway currently plunged in darkness, repairs to the bumpy and potholed roads including on Brindavan Street and cleaning of stormwater drains.

Sustainability concepts like zero waste management and rainwater harvesting would also be highlighted to participants, states a release.
