    Good Morning

    Over all Sarvagna Nagar is in bad shape – no sweepers, no supervisor, no marshals. It goes on for weeks even months before any isuue is noticed or corrected.

    Please arrange a walk thru all areas and arrange a thorough cleaning.

    We need action Mr. MLA

Ever since the contentious Mamallan reservoir was proposed in the ecosensitive Kovalam–Nemmeli backwater system, fisher communities in Chennai have repeatedly asked: Does it have to be here? Experts and scientists say no, urging the government to abandon the project and work on sustainable alternatives.  Critics point to a long list of costs: high expenditure, land acquisition, and risks to livelihoods and biodiversity. As we have reported earlier, the central concern driving the project is the looming drinking water supply crisis – demand is projected to rise from 1,100 million litres a day (MLD) to over 2,500 MLD for the Greater…
