Issues in the zone:
- Many parts of the zone such as T Nagar, Saidapet, West Mambalam, K.K. Nagar, Ashok Nagar have experienced extreme water logging during last year’s rains. In Saidapet, residents cite the example of Thiruvalluvar Street, where water stagnated and rose as rains continued. In T Nagar, despite heavy investments and publicity around the Smart City Project in the area, the new storm water drains and civic infrastructure were unable to take the load of rainwater coming in. Residents have asked for the sewer lines and stormwater drains to be redone, as well as a monthly open house at the respective division offices, to ensure communication between officials and residents.
- Sellers at Koyambedu Wholesale Fruits and Vegetables Market have been demanding proper facilities such as clean drinking water, a healthcare center and a park, for years.
- Residents of K.K. Nagar (coming under ward 136) have been asking for a community hall, a library, and maintenance of parks in the area. Residents in West Mambalam (coming under ward 134) have voiced concern over the sewage lines in the area, as several houses were inundated during the rains and sewage was found to be mixing with the stagnated water.
- Pondy Bazar has been in bad shape, especially after its development work started. Some of the key concerns are that there is a lack of a well thought-out parking policy and the Pedestrian Plaza project has been poorly planned.
- The Kodambakkam Residential Welfare Association has also mentioned how waste often overflows in public dustbins. There is a lack of home level waste segregation, which increases the burden on conservancy workers who would have to wade through the ill-maintained public dustbins.
- Construction for Metro Rail Phase 2 has led to large scale traffic congestion in the zone, due to shrunken road space.
