Avadi Municipality — street lights not fitted in the right poles.

Address:

Tiruvallur, Tamil Nadu, 600109

Over 10 street lights in a row were washed out during the vardah cyclone in dec 2016 in the 60 feet railway station road, devi nagar, from hdfc atm to sbi atm. This long stretch was in dark during night causing insecurity to the residents of devi nagar, jb nagar, sridevi vaishnavi nagar and vaishnavai nagar who alight at annanoor railway station to go their residence.

This was taken up with avadi municipality repeatedly and was delayed due to paucity of funds, as stated by municipality officials. Finally, after a long period of one year, new street light sets were allotted to fit in these poles, day before yesterday.

Unfortunately, at the instigation of ex-mc who got hold with officials, major number of these new lights were fitted in the southern part of 60 feet railway station road after removing the tube lights which were in good burning condition. Only 3 new street lights were fitted in the poles between hdfc atm and sbi atm, leaving still some more poles to be fitted with lights.

This sort of mis-management occurs in this area of ward 14 and ward 13 at the instructions of vested interest.
