Metro to link route planned under monorailnetwork

It is not clear if monorail, oneof former Chief Minister J.Jayalalithaa’s pet projects, willever see the light of day, butlocalities like Porur,Iyyapanthangal andPoonamallee, planned under

the system, will be linked underthe 118.9-km. phase-2 ofChennai Metro Rail Limited.

A comprehensive study onpassenger flow revealed hightraffic density between Porurand Poonamallee that metrorail, not monorail, is capable ofhandling, said CMRLmanaging director PankajKumar Bansal. Corridor 4, nowplanned between Light Houseand CMBT, will be extendedupto Poonamallee and willfinally stretch over 26.1 km.with 30 stations. The 118.9-km. phase-2, estimated to costRs. 69,000 crores, willcomprise corridors 3, 4 and 5.

“We presented the traffic

data to the state governmentand suggested that metro railwould be more suitable in theselocalities than monorail. Afterthe government approval, werevised corridor 4,” Bansal said.Discussions are on with fourinternational banks andconstruction may begin soon,he added.

As of 2012, monorail was toconnect Kathipara withPoonamallee linking Porur,SRMC Hospital, Iyyappan-thangal, Kattupakkkam,Kumananchavadi andKarayanchavadi in a ‘Y’ shapedalignment including an armfrom Porur to Vadapalani andVelachery to Vandalur. WhileKathipara is linked withAlandur in metro phase-1, therest are part of phase-2.

After the government’sapproval, an additionaldetailed project report forcorridor 4 retained the stretchbetween Light House andVadapalani as per the old plan,but tweaked the route fromVadapalani to link localitiesfrom Porur to Poonamallee.Corridor 5 was also changed toinclude CMBT and KaliammanKoil Street that were removedfrom corridor 4. Now, stationshave been planned atAlwarthirunagar, Valasar-vakkam, Karabakkam,Alapakkam Junction andPorur junction as interchangefacilities linking corridors 4 and5.

A part of corridor 4, initiallyplanned to be underground, hasnow been changed to elevated.Officials said the line between

Light House and MeenakshiCollege in Kodambakkam willbe underground, as it links thecity core. From MeenakshiCollege to Poonamallee it willbe elevated. “We decided tochange it to elevated as thereis availability of space,” anofficial said.

The state governmentproposed a 42-km two-corridormonorail at an estimated costof Rs. 6,402 crores and taskedMetropolitan TransportCorporation (MTC) to executeit. But the project is yet to takeoff. Experts had beenhighlighting that the city wouldrequire a mix of metro rail andmonorail system to makepublic transport popular.

Tenders floated for flyover at

Teynampetjunction

Chennai Corporation hasfloated tenders for the 1.2 km.flyover at Teynampet junctionconnecting Theyagaraya Roadand Eldams Road.

The estimated cost of theproject is Rs. 98.55 crores.

This is one of the two flyoversproposed under the Smart Citymission.

The other one will be atNandanam junction.

Though the projects weresanctioned in July 2018, theywere not started due to metrorail work.

The tenders will be opened onFeb. 27.

Kanakabhishekam wasperformed to 95-year old Dr. M. K.Srinivasan (resident of T. Nagarand Medical Director, Public HealthCenter, West Mambalam) by hisfamily last week.

He started his medical practisein 1951, and is still active in hisprofession.

He is an alumnus of StanleyMedical College and started hiscareer in Government Roya-pettah Hospital.

He later served as HonorarySurgeon in Royapettah Hos-pital for 20 years, before star-ting his nursing home inMambalam.

He has been associated withPublic Health Center from itsinception in 1953.

“I started performing majoroperations from the age of 30.At the time I was also doinghonorary service in PublicHealth Center, WestMambalam. When the Centerwas started in 1953 by Rajaji,there was no electricity. Adoctor would function out of asmall hut with a lantern. It has

since expanded into a multi-disciplinary hospital,” he said.

“I donated whatever fee Iwas paid back to Public HealthCenter, which I do till date forany major or minor surgery Iperform there,” he added.

He said that a patient will besatisfied only if you feel his/herpulse. Patient interactiontakes care of 50 per cent of thecure.

Residents appeal against shifting of rationshops from Rameswaram Road

Residents have opposed themove by the Civil SuppliesDept. to shift the ration shopsfunctioning for more than 3decades in Rameswaram Road,T. Nagar to Mambalam HighRoad in T. Nagar. The shopscater to more than 2000 resi-dents living in the vicinity.

The residents toldMambalam Times that theshift was unnecessary as theyhave no complaints against thelocation or the facilities in theshops.

An official of the Civil Sup-plies Dept. said that the shopsare being shifted as the exist-ing building is in bad conditionwith no proper amenities andare unsafe for the staff and forstoring goods.

Refuting the official’s claim,Sooryan Basheer (Advocateand resident of RameswaramRoad) and Badrinarayanan(resident of Doraisamy Road,T. Nagar) said that the newlocation is very far and incon-venient for existing consum-ers, especially women and theelderly.

A senior member of T. Nagar

Residents’ Welfare Associationsaid that the shops are func-tioning out of the premisesowned by TUCS (CooperativeSociety land) and is close to thecard holders mainly residing inthe streets abutting UsmanRoad and other nearby streetsincluding Ramanujam Street,Soundarajan Street andGandhi Street. He said thatthe main reason for the pro-posal to shift is only due tovested interest to accommo-date commercial complex own-ers who run a canteen and hos-tel for their employees inMambalam High Road.

He added that when the resi-dents do not encounter anyproblems and the shops arerunning smoothly, what is theneed to shift them? Shiftingof ration shops cannot be doneat the whims and fancies ofelected repre-sentatives. Re-locating the shops can be doneonly if it has the consent of allthe cardholders.

He concluded by saying thatdespite disapproval from theresidents, if at all the shops arere-located, it will only amountto denial of our rights and wewill have no other option but tosurrender the ration cards.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Appeal to buy productsmade by differently-abledpersonsBy Our Staff Reporter

Arvind Foundation, (NGO located in 387, 27thStreet, Sector 6, K. K. Nagar) sells food items,paper bags, plates and other products made bydifferently-abled persons.

They include 13 varieties of spice mixes likesambar powder, paruppu podi and garam masala,paper bags of different sizes, bowls and platesmade with the leaves of areca nut tree.

The paper plates can be used for all functionsand are priced at Rs. 3.50 each.

With the recent ban on plastics, these serve asan excellent alternative at nominal cost.

A separate outlet for selling these productswill soon open near the Foundation.

According to a special educator in ArvindFoundation, the special children are providedtraining from their formative years. To help themleverage the development, the Foundation has aseparate unit where they are given vocationaltraining after they grow up. Stipend is paid to

Smart City makeover not easyir, Under the Smart City Mission, a few places in T. Nagar are getting a makeover.They include South Usman Road and North Usman Road.But for this to happen, the numerable encroachments have to be removed from these roads

including roadside hawkers.The footpaths on both sides of the service roads of Usman Road, Ranganathan Street and

Railway Border Road are encroached upon. Likewise, most of the large commercial complexeson the roads have been built violating rules including. fire safety norms.

The mushrooming growth of mobile eateries, the dysfunctional storm water drains and theover-burdened Metrowater sewer lines are other worrying factors.

Without addressing these issues, how can the roads be made ‘Smart’?The authorities who are in charge of the Smart City project should take the residents on board

to get a better idea of the problems each street faces.It not, it will be a failed or half-baked mission. K. Harihar, T. Nagar

Assaulted in flat complex staircaseSir, I am a resident of a flat in Postal Colony, West Mambalam.At around 8.30 p.m on Feb. 19, when I was climbing the stairs to reach my flat on the 2nd floor,

I was assaulted by a youth who rushed from behind. I managed to fight back and raised an alarm.He let go of me and raced down the stairs. I gave chase and saw him climb a bike and ride away.

I even hit him on the head with my lunch bag. He was in the late 20s and was wearing a red T-shirt. I think he was a delivery person engaged by a food delivery company.

I am writing this letter to caution the women in our neighbourhood to be cautious and alert.I had nails which actually helped me in the situation, but women should carry stuff like pepperspray to fight back. N. C. Ramya, Postal Colony, West Mambalam
