Residents of OMR attended a public consultation for the proposed Bus Rapid Transit System in Chennai but remain apprehensive about the project and its utility for them. Here’s why.
Around 100 resident associations of OMR have written to the Chief Minister calling for his immediate intervention to address the prolonged water and sanitation issues faced by them.
Representatives of the Federation of OMR Residents Associations (FOMRRA) organised a meeting with candidates of South Chennai to address the various issues plaguing the constituency.
While the Chennai Metro Water site displays a vibrant water and sewage network plan in place for the OMR IT Corridor, no one, not even officials seem to know the actual status of these projects.
For years, residents of the famed Rajiv Gandhi Salai IT corridor have been pressing for basic water and drainage infrastructure, lack of which has meant not just huge expenses but also undesirable developments for the city as a whole.
Getting a community habituated to segregating their household waste at source is a long and sometimes arduous journey. But it’s well worth the time and effort, as this OMR initiative shows.
