North Chennai residents seek Metro Rail connectivity via Perambur, better sanitation, and water supply facilities
These demands were consolidated into a study report at a public meeting organised by Federation of North Chennai Residents’ Welfare Associations
Perambur residents in North Chennai have been pressing for Metro Rail connectivity, improved sanitation, and enhanced water supply facilities. At a recent public meeting organized by the Federation of North Chennai Residents' Welfare Associations, concerns were consolidated into a comprehensive study report. Federation president T.K.
Shanmugam urged the government to turn these demands into a concrete action plan. Tamil Nadu Housing Board Chairman V. Siva, who received the report, pledged action in response. The master plan aims to permanently shut down the 50-tonne waste-to-energy plant at Kodungaiyur and scrap the proposed new plant. It calls for the revival of 168 micro-compost centers and 88 material recovery facilities, replacing them with the federation's 'Green Chennai Initiative' as an alternative waste management plan.
A new Metro Rail route is proposed to connect areas such as Basin Bridge, Vyasarpadi, Sathyamurthy Nagar, M.K.B. Nagar, Erukkancheri, Moolakadai, and Madhavaram. The plan also seeks a constituency-level master plan for drinking water and sewerage, comprehensive flood mitigation strategies, solutions to housing patta and registration issues, primary healthcare facilities in every ward, enhanced sports and green spaces, and welfare facilities for workers.
Federation's Senthamizh Pari emphasized the importance of addressing the issues surrounding the dumpyard and the 50-tonne plant, describing the study report as an evidence-based document.
