Problems in shelters

Since then Fomrra has established a main group of 10 volunteers who have compiled a comprehensive report on things” as they are “and” Wish Connectivity “. MTC meets to send a message, ”he said.
Councilor of Corporation S. Jeevan said North Chennai complained about advice on solid waste dumping, overflowing waste water, growth of vegetation and safety and security in the Kannadasan Nagar Terminus bus. “Many months ago, the corporation officials visited the terminus, removed waste, cleaned overgrowth and solved the problem in the outflow with the support of the metro. Stagnation water, the company dealt with residents.
On Sunday, North Chennai Jai Ganesh of Muttamizh Nagar shared a group of WhatsApp problems that the locals faced by the locals, due to the lack of a bus connection between Kodungaiyur and areas such as Thiruvanmiyur. “The inhabitants need proper bus shelters, bus terminals and new mini-bus routes to improve connectivity with pernur,” he said.
K. Nammazhvar of Tanikacham Nagar Welfare Association, said that the seniors were included in the hardship due to the lack of direct connection of buses between Tiruvottiyur and Pernur. Arivazhagan of MKB Nagar emphasized the need for a direct bus connection between Kilambakkam in South Chennai and MKB Nagar in North Chennai.
“Better coordination needed”
K. Shanmugham, President of the Federation of the Association of Social Association North Chennai, said that all civic agencies such as Chennai Corporation, MTC, CMDA and Motorway Department should improve their coordination to support bus connectivity. “We have found that the state government is planning to present private mini-buses. But private mini-buses will focus only on profits. The government must introduce mini-buses on routes that private operators refuse. Chennai Corporation should redesign and strengthen internal roads.
Geetha Ganesh, Secretary of AGS Association of Colony Colony, Velachery West, said: “We lost the fleet of new buses because road trees were not cut by the Chennai parks and the MTC inspection team concluded.
“We were looking for more bus routes, especially small bus routes, at Metro Metro, but MTC was not designed. 9m Broadway service was introduced several years ago and the fleet did not increase. But the number of trips that causes two or three weekends.
The inhabitants of South Chennai sent representation to the main secretary N. Muruganantham, Minister of Transport and MTC officials who demand the following routes: AGS Colony to Thiruvanmiyur bus stands through Taramani, Nift (mini-bus); AGS Colony to Thirvallikeni via Mylapore (main bus); AGS colony of Anna Nagar via ekatuthangal, vadapalani and koyambedu (main bus); AGS colony to Tambarama bus stands, although Adambakam and Alandur via MRT (mini-bus); AGS Colony on Broadway via Anna Salai (main bus); AGS Colony on Madipakkam Koot Road (mini-bus); AGS Colony to the airport through Nanganallur (mini-bus); AGS Colony to Palllakararan via MRTS IRR (mini-bus); AGS Colony to the Besant Nagar depot through Tidel Park, Madhya Kailash, Adyar and Shastri Nagar (mini-bus or the main bus).
Lack of reasonable investment
K. Kumar, the former main planner of CMDA and a visiting member of the faculty, the Department of Planning, SAP, Anna University, said: “Despite the essence of the comprehensive mobility plan (stroke), it is barely exploded in infrastructure infrastructure or Chennai policy or many Indian cities.
The city, which calls for a minimum power of 12,400 buses from the National Standard for the Bus population population, tried to move commuting with just below the same 3,300 buses for decades or more with a good share on the road, at least. That despite the feasibility study for the execution of the fast transit system of the bus along the arterial roads carried out with the money of taxpayers in the last 10 years, the government lasted the will to implement any of them, said.
