CHENNAI: As Covid-19 cases surge, residents of Chennai’s T Nagar have written to Tamil Nadu health secretary J Radhakrishnan urging him to enforce mask compliance.
T Nagar Residents Welfare Association secretary B Kannan said, “With reports about a surge in Covid-19 cases, the residents of T Nagar, particularly those residing in the streets off the Usman Road, are a worried lot. Residential apartments are sandwiched between commercial buildings. When Covid-19 was at its peak, most streets in T Nagar were containment areas causing untold miseries to the residents,” he said.
