Water crisis, traffic bottlenecks and encroachments are locality’s main problems
T. Nagar, the city’s commercial hub, has an unceasing list of woes that have not been addressed in the last five years. Water crisis, traffic bottlenecks, encroachments, building violations and poor connectivity are issues that continue to cripple the lives of people residing in the constituency.
The constituency consists of Kodambakkam, Ashok Nagar, West Mambalam, Pondy Bazaar, CIT Nagar and a few parts of Vadapalani. Around 22 candidates, including 10 Independents, are contesting from this constituency.
Sitting MLA B. Sathyanarayanan is the AIADMK candidate while the DMK has fielded J. Karunanithi. Pala. Karupaiah will be contesting from actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan’s Makkal Needhi Maiam.
