North chennai cannot be in focus. It is eco-sensitive wetlands and then Andhra. Makes no sense to invest in development there because as soon as you cross into andhra there is no development either due to a bird sanctuary.
Hosur is in focus because of potential of bangalore spilling over.
@RussianArmy_ What gain does China have in this incursion? China can basically sit back & watch this country crumble. It does not need to lift a finger. It has no gain in doing so.
@reclaimchennai@EcrPSaravanann@chennaicorp We need a counter culture, where there are groups that paint graffiti on posters and turn them into memes.
Let's turn eye sore into fun ๐
I have a friend doing farming.
The schemes supporting farmers and the money & other support they can get from govt is mind-boggling.
Yet, the yield is low, money made is less & my limited understanding is because land ownership is so fragmented.
If 50 to 100 acre land parcels are under one person's control - they can make it work well.
@dmuthuk Hope they listen to you and take action. Pretty much every chennai twitter handle has been regularly raising this and to no avail.
It's way worse than what it was during DMK.
@suweidacks With your current proofs apply for a new one. For name change, attach Gazette when applying. Trust me, it's much easier getting a new one.
SIR is such a farce. Only retaining your name is such a task, getting a new voter ID seems fairly simple. Strange!
@reclaimchennai@RM_Harish_@EcrPSaravanann I believe it is because ECR P Saravanan is district secretary for Chennai Sub-Urban, so his face is bigger.
Anyways, this guys poster menace puts even DMK to shame. Even in areas near CM'S house, it's the same scene.
Wonder who funds this
@rupesh_0795@aravind The aesthetics of the airport means nothing. How many skybridges it has, how many gates, how many runways, total passenger capacity, expansion (future) capacity, connectivity are the things that matter.
Appreciate the aesthetics but we also need to discuss function
I once had a broker tell me - flooding happens. But it's just 10 to 15 days of inconvenience in a year and eventually infra would improve. But the discount is steep and I should invest.
I never did. I rented there. I couldn't accept the destruction we were causing to the ecosystem. Eventually moved out.
I never brought. But 1000's did.
Precisely, any flyover is a band-aid to circumvent 2 things.
1. Zero city planning. Areas with no inter-connectivity. Many dead end streets and interior streets totally encroached, pushing all traffic to main arterial roads.
2. Encroachments in the main road - which would exist because some councillor has been paid off.
Look at streets of Seattle vs Velachery.
Flyover because city is like a village with dead-end roads. Like it's a closed colony.
When there is no interconnectivity, flyovers are the only solution.
@dhanyarajendran@dhanyarajendran : Please someone make her understand that - people don't criticise her English. Tamilnadu doesn't do that.
They criticise her for being Cringe from Day 1.
Even if she speaks fluent French - people be like - "C'est trop cringe"
