Bad road denies access to railway counter at Perungalathur

Perungalathur residents are highly inconvenienced by the bad condition of the road, which connects them to their lifeline of railway ticket counter. Local residents said that the road remains the same for the last few years and there were no steps taken to repair the road even after repeated complaints.

Rajamanickam Street is located in New Perungalathur and its one of the important roads in Perungalathur since it is one of the entrances to the railway station via ticket counter. However, the road is in a bad shape and forces residents to avoid using the road and make them cross the railway line manually.

The residents said that the road is occupied by a few shops and on the other side of the road there is an open culvert so travelling on a two-wheeler and four-wheelers have become quite risky.

Naveen Kumar, a resident of Perungalathur said, “every week I am noticing at least one motorist who skids and fall on the road due to its bad condition. At times several people had even fallen inside the open culvert.”

John, who owns an NGO said, many times we requested the officials to repair the road and cover the culvert but there was no proper response from them.

“After Perungalathur was linked with Tambaram Corporation we thought there would be many developments but still, the roads in Perungalathur are in a bad shape,” he added.

The locals said the police should prevent the shops from occupying the road, as it is narrow already. They should also make sure that people are not parking their two-wheeler on the roadside.

When contacted D Kamaraj, head of the fourth Zone in Tambaram Corporation said we are planning to repair the roads and the works are in the initial stage. He assured that the road will be repaired at the earliest.
