State sports minister Udhayanidhi Stalin inaugurated 13 projects of Greater Chennai Corporation and Metrowater worth 11.98 crore and laid the foundation stone for 52 new projects worth 152.67 crore.
“No paver blocks have been laid in the car parking lot. We do not have Metrowater or sewage connection. Drainage pipes are leaking. There is no security guard. There are even snakes inside the complex,” said Asokan M, a resident of the complex.
More than 100 protestors blocked the Grand Southern Trunk Road in Chennai, demanding permanent jobs for sanitation workers and opposing the outsourcing of waste management to private companies.
