Plea to help ‘wilting’ plants at the GCC park on MGR Road in Kalakshetra Colony
Residents of Kalakshetra Colony are calling for maintenance of a local park, citing failing irrigation systems and wilting plants. The park, located at a prominent intersection, is described as a vital green space for the community that is currently suffering from neglect.
Why it matters
Local urban infrastructure maintenance is a key quality-of-life issue for residents in rapidly developing urban areas.
At Kalakshetra Colony in Thiruvanmiyur, the sun is expected not to set on this park. The script for this has no fading-into-oblivion scene. This park is instead meant to stay evergreen simply on account of its location, if not anything else.
It is tucked squarely into the intersection of two roads named after two evergreen heroes of Tamil Nadu politics. This park in Ward 179 is located at the point where Karunanidhi Road meets MGR Road. While those leaders’ memory is hallowed and stays evergreen and fresh, the park connected with their memory indirectly is losing its green.
