Ramp at bus-stop shelter misused for parking2-wheelers on pavement

Sir, I thank Mambalam Timesfor publishing my grievance inthe ‘Letters to the Editor’ col-umn three weeks back aboutthe platform of a bus-stopshelter protruding by 3 feetinto the carriageway in NorthUsman Road.

The report had a quick im-pact and the authorities lastweek demolished and removedthe protrusion, but have in-stead created a ramp in itsplace. 2-wheeler owners arenow taking advantage of theramp to park their vehicles onthe platform.

I really don’t understandwhat the need is for a ramp at the bus-stop shelter.

Will the authorities remove the ramp so that it is not misused by drivers topark vehicles on the platform and block the way for pedestrians. Dr. R.Narasimhan, T. Nagar

Tenants must be cautious before occupying flatsSir, T. Nagar/Mambalam was among the first areas in Chennai where

independent houses were converted into flats. Most flat complexes haveassociations where office-bearers are elected to manage the affairs, collectmonthly maintenance fees and manage the upkeep of the building andinfrastructure. Often some owners default on maintenance fee or are atloggerheads with the office-bearers for various reasons.

In this category, it is the tenants of such flats who get harassed by the office-bearers. Often these issues come to light only after the tenant occupies the flatafter paying a hefty deposit to the owner. Recently, an acquaintance of minetook a flat on rent and, within a few days, vacated it due to several issuesbetween the owner and the office-bearers that were affecting his stay and peaceof mind. Many tenants face such problems and endure them due tocompulsions. Most owners, who stay away, are not keen on sorting out theproblems and also hide these facts from tenants before letting out the flat. Soit is imperative that prospective tenants should ascertain all these facts beforerenting a flat.

The office-bearers will also do well to put up a board in the complex indicatingthe maintenance charges, any other charges and the details of the dues fromowners who rent out flats. This will not only help the association to collect thedues, but also give a clear picture to prospective tenants. V. S. Jayaraman,31, Motilal Street, T. Nagar

Where is my smart neighbourhood?Sir, I am a long-time resident of T. Nagar and have seen it grow from a calm

and peaceful neighbourhood to the buzzing commercial hub of today.The unplanned commercial growth has led to numerous problems including

encroachments, deviations in construction and safety norms, deficient sewageand storm water drain capacities and commercial intrusion into residentialareas. Resident associations and other social activist groups have taken up theseissues with the authorities and have also filed PILs in courts, but the problemsonly continue to grow and the residents are the worst affected. In 2015, theresidents got some kind of a relief when Chennai Corporation included T. Nagarin its ‘Smart City Project’ funded by the Central Govt. But since then, except fora couple of ‘Pedestrian Plaza’ trials, the project still remains only on paper. Inow wonder if the project will ever take off.

Residents have lost faith in the ‘Smart City Project’ as the second ‘PedestrianPlaza’ trial only invoked lukewarm response from the locals. May I requestChennai Corporation to announce a time frame and start the project at theearliest to mitigate the travails of the residents of the neighbourhood. V. S.Narayanaswamy, T. Nagar

Municipal bonds can augment State’s resourcesSir, I retired as a senior official from the State revenue dept.The State Govt. is mainly depending on state and central grants for

infrastructure projects and their maintenance has affected the quality of civicservices provided to residents leading to long delays in project implementationand escalation in cost.

The T. Nagar ‘Pedestrian Plaza’ for example has seen a delay of more thanfour years since its announcement in 2012. Similarly the ‘Smart City’ project forT. Nagar is yet to even take off on paper since its announcement in 2015. Whycan’t the Corporation also look for alternative measures like issuing municipalbonds to raise funds, which in a way also brings public participation into theinfrastructure development? Its attempt to issue bonds in 2005 may not havebeen successful, but the demographics have since changed and could go a longway in resource management. R. Nagalingam, Cenotaph Road,Nandanam

Appeal for Cholan Express to halt at Mambalam StationSir, Over the years, resident associations and other local bodies have sent

several appeals to Southern Railway requesting that Cholan Express (Train No.16854) should halt at Mambalam Station. It is one of the few trains that go viaThanjavur and Kumbakonam.

A number of locals, especially senior citizens, visit these temple cities onpilgrimage tours, before auspicious occasions or during important festivals. So,if the train halts at Mambalam Station, it would make life easy for them. Now,they are forced to haul their luggage to Egmore or Tambaram to board the train.I request the railway authorities to heed the request of the residents to halt thetrain at Mambalam Station, even if for a few minutes only.
