Civic

Why your waste is causing sleepless nights in Ezhil Nagar and R R Nagar

February 27, 2019 Aruna Natarajan

Serious flaws in garbage collection and disposal, impractical solutions, and corruption to top it all — a public meeting discussed the chaotic waste management ecosystem in the city and how deeply it affects residents living near garbage dumps. However, citizens themselves hold the key to a better system.

Governance

7600 families, one PDS centre: How resettled slum dwellers buy rations in Perumbakkam

April 2, 2018 Laasya Shekhar

Carpenters, electricians, domestic workers — for many residents at the Ezhil Nagar resettlement, getting their quota under the PDS means multiple visits, and hence days of leave from work that they can ill afford. Even then, supplies are not guaranteed.

Education

March 7, 2018 Laasya Shekhar

No playground, no fire exits, no proper washrooms and sometimes, no teachers either. That’s how kids from families in the Perumbakkam resettlement colony study, in a primary school operating from residential flats.
