Councillors complain about damaged bus route roads and rising risk of road accidents

Councillors complain about damaged bus route roads and rising risk of road accidents CHENNAI Councillors have complained about the rising number of damaged bus route roads and increasing risk of road accidents, in view of the Northeast monsoon, that set in over Tamil Nadu on Thursday. At the ward committee meeting this week, Ward 35 councillor S. Jeevan said the damaged stretch of Tondiarpet High Road had not been relaid. “The officials spoke about patch work repair of damaged bus route roads. That will only worsen the condition of the road during the monsoon. Moreover, the Northeast monsoon is likely to increase the risk of accidents on bad roads, particularly bus routes. We expected the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) to relay at least a few important bus routes before the onset of the Northeast monsoon,” Mr. Jeevan said. Ward 104 councillor T.V.
