Did it work for you?

Many of us have been working with various organizations over the many months triggering various pieces of work that are bits and pieces of the overall puzzle. A sewage line here, a cauvery water line there, a transformer move here etc.. As we had mentioned, we had requested BTP to help us with our traffic woes and given various suggestions. They did their study in response and came back to implement some interesting changes. Whether it worked or not, it sure woke people up. Many like it. And many vocal ones don’t, Some problems are real. Children unable to cross a suddenly busy stretch to board a bus. Big Bazaar signal is a mess. But overall has this plan worked and will some tweaks fix it? Give us your feedback here.

SFC Update

The name is a misnomer. SFC is a Signal Free Corridor but don’t assume it is interruption free. Many residents engaged and have had a big hand in improving what was originally designed. Currently the project is not on track due to land acquisition issues around Kundanahalli Gate. Read more. Here is an update on what we know.

Farmer’s Market this sunday Dec 7th at Forum Value Mall.

Citing logistical challenges from the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR), authorities received a Supreme Court extension to hold elections by December 31st. The restructured GBA, expanding from 198 wards to five corporations across 369 wards, faces continuing gaps in solving various ward-level issues — such as solid waste management and traffic problems, poor execution of civic works and funding issues.

The right to leisure: Do Chennai parks provide respite from soaring temperatures?

by Archita Raghu August 17, 2026 Civic

Locked gates at noon and ₹75 entry fees limit access to Chennai's parks for the people who need them most during extreme heat.

For homemaker Rani, alternate evenings are dedicated to a few rounds at the 2,456 sq m Sharma Park in Chennai's T Nagar, playfully chasing her two granddaughters across the sanded area. But there are a few things she is worried about. “It’s hot throughout the year at the park. It has unwatered, withering plants, and this area is often prone to rowdyism,” Rani says, pointing to strewn water bottles and food packets behind some benches. However, as she spends all day sweating in her kitchen, these few hours in the open air are immensely valuable. In an earlier article, we…
