Egmore Residents Cite Congestion, Poor Roads and Encroachments

DT Next · · Infrastructure

Residents across Chennai’s Egmore constituency report obstructed footpaths, traffic congestion, poorly maintained roads and garbage, while water supply has improved.

Key facts

Residents in Chennai’s Egmore constituency say encroachments and traffic affect both better-off and working-class neighbourhoods. Chetpet, Egmore, Vepery and parts of Kilpauk are among the better-off pockets; Choolai, Park Town, Purasaiwakkam and Kannappar Nagar are described as dense, working-class areas.

Footpaths on Pantheon Road and Red Cross Road are occupied by eateries. Traffic crawls amid encroachments in Pudupet, Pulianthope and around Moore Market. Residents cite congestion near schools and inadequate school safety zones. Choolai’s inner streets have had damaged roads for much of the past five years, with patchwork repairs providing little relief. Vepery High Road, Hunters Road and Strahans (Demellows) Road face persistent congestion and junction bottlenecks.

Residents also report irregular garbage clearance in Purasaiwakkam and Choolai, and dumping and burning along the Cooum banks. Choolai residents say water supply has improved, ending reliance on tankers. Residents appreciate school redevelopment and park maintenance. A corporation survey places a major share of the homeless population in the Egmore constituency, including Royapuram. The reserved constituency has been a DMK stronghold for decades.
