They say the presence of a Tasmac outlet on Venkata Gramini Street is the root of many problems
Venkata Gramini Street in Chintadripet seems to most things that residents of neighbourhood would look for wide footpaths, bitumen-topped carriageway, LED street lights, stormwater drains and garbage bins. Despite these features, the street is avoided like the plague by many residents. The reason: The nuisance caused by tipplers visiting a Tasmac shop near the street’s intersection with Arunachal Road.
Avoiding this section would require these residents to travel an extra half-a-kilometre to reach Arunachal Road, but they do not seem to mind it. Pushcarts selling essentials like vegetables and fruits come to the opposite end of the stretch for the sake of residents.
