‘Ban borewell digging at night in residential areas’Sir, At around 1 a.m on April 4, I was jostled out of my sleep by a

deafening sound. When I peeped out to find the source of the din, I foundthat a borewell was being dug in GRT Silverware showroom locatedopposite our residential complex on Rangan Road, T. Nagar.

The genset mounted on a vehicle to provide power to the drillingmachine was also making a lot of noise. Since the sound was ear-piercing and it was impossible to sleep, I went down and told theworkmen to stop the work. As they did not heed my advice, I rang upPolice Control Room. The police patrol vehicle came immediately and,after getting the details, intervened to get the work stopped. The actof digging a borewell, that too in the night, is in gross violation of rules.Further, prior to digging a borewell, written permission needs to beobtained from the authorities. Such gross violation by commercialestablishments has become common in the neighbourhood.

The slush generated while drilling is let out into the nearby stormwater drains. This cement-like coloured water solidifies and blocks thefree flow of water in the drains. The very essence of construction ofstorm water drains is to prevent water stagnation in roads and if thiskind of illegal activity takes place, how can the drains be efficient? Withnone to question these acts, such violations are openly committed.

Unless steps are taken by the authorities to curb such violations,implementing ‘Smart City’ projects will serve no purpose. B. Kannan,Secretary, T. Nagar Residents’ Welfare Association, 30, RanganStreet, T. Nagar

Corporation wants to improve facilities in playgroundSir, Officials of Chennai Corporation, Zone 10, called on us the other

day with a proposal to upgrade the playground located opposite Dr.Natesan Park, Venkatanarayana Road, T. Nagar. The proposal, interalia, seeks to provide exclusive walkways for runners, toilets, a newmini basketball court, lawns, floodlights and improve the existingshuttle court, to name some aspects.

The space now being used to play cricket and the area where thegymnasium is located will be left untouched. Once the above facilitiesare provided, the officials aver that the playground will get recognitionto qualify for holding inter-state and national competitions. Theproject will be funded by Chennai Corporation and from the MLA’slocal area development fund. The officials stated that if the playgroundis upgraded with the above facilities, it will not be utilized for any otherpurposes in the future, lest a proposal could come up at a later date foran underground parking facility. The detailed plan of the proposal isavailable with the Association’s Secretary whose contact number is94442 10345. Residents are welcome to have a look at the plan andprovide their views and suggestions which will be passed on to theofficials concerned. T. Nagar Residents’ Welfare Association, 30,Rangan Street, T. Nagar

Street near temple misused for parkingSir, I am a resident of 53rd Street, Ashok Nagar. There is a popular

Anjaneyar temple on the street and a number of devotees visit it daily.Its surroundings are not public friendly as the space is encroached

upon by beggars and roadside vendors. The situation is worse onSaturdays and on festive occasions as there is an increase in thenumber of visitors to the temple. Since there is no parking space dueto encroachment outside the temple, devotees park their cars and 2-wheelers in the narrow 53rd Street. The residents of the street are putto hardship as they find it difficult to take their vehicles in and out ofthe lane. Further, a number of devotees unabashedly park theirvehicles in front of our gates thereby blocking the way. The Corporationgarbage compactor lorry also often gets stuck as the road margins areblocked by cars. I appeal to the Corporation officials to prevent theparking of ‘outsider’ vehicles on our narrow street and, instead, providespace for parking in the broader 7th and 9th Avenues close by. TheCorporation can also charge a nominal parking fee. Dr. Chidambara-kumaraswamy, 40, 53rd Street, Ashok Nagar

Auto drivers’ appeal for ban on OLA Auto unwarrantedSir, The autorickshaw drivers owing allegiance to a few political

parties are on the warpath demanding that the State government ban‘OLA’ autos. The auto drivers’ main grouse is that they are unable tocompete with the fair pricing by ‘OLA’ autos.

The auto drivers have reason to feel unhappy as they are no morein a position to fleece commuters. Even after the government has fixedminimum fare, no autos ply by the meter. Complaints made to the tollfree number do not evoke a positive response. There has been noenforcement by the authorities either. The result is that the autodrivers take the passengers literally for a ‘ride’ by fleecing them.

The service provider OLA has regularized the auto service in the city.The OLA autos are the best bet for a place like Chennai, wherecommuters are otherwise at the mercy of the recalcitrant auto drivers.

Instead of fighting for the ban on OLA autos, the private auto driversshould compete by charging as per meter to persuade the public to usetheir service as well. V. S. Jayaraman, 31, Motilal Street, T. Nagar

Appeal to improve MTC service between Rangarajapuram andT. Nagar

Sir, There is only one MTC bus plying on the route connectingRangarajapuram/Five Lights with T. Nagar. It is causing lots ofhardship to commuters. I appeal to MTC to add a few more buses onthis route. Similarly, share autos plying to K. K. Nagar can go viaRangarajapuram. V. S. Narayanaswamy, T. Nagar
