The new road connecting GST Road (near the airport) and Velacheri which passes through the Thillai ganga nagar subway bridges the environs of Nanganallur to Velacherry and beyond is a godsend to the residents of the area.

Workers are really sweating it out to complete the work and make it motorable. Round the clock activity is going on. With all this the multiple activities which enlivened this part is absent.

When the sun slowly slips behind the horizon numerous mobile fast food joints used to assemble there and dish out lip smacking delicacies. It was a gourmets delight declares Rajan an IT professional who alights from his office bus at the spot every evening. The tech savvy coterie fill their stomachs before going home. With the laying of the new route they have sunk into oblivion . The motorist used to halt here and taste the exotic spread. Students found this place ideal to interact as it was airy with no pollution and no human interference. Most of them mourn the disappearance of the evening eateries.

During monsoon when it rains heavily (only occasionally) the subway is flooded and cordoned off. It takes at least a couple of days two days for the authorities to pump out the water. Thus the subway cannot be used as it gets inundated. It is Venice in Chennai during rains.

Work is progressing simultaneously to set this right. Whether the subway will get flooded during this monsoon is a matter of conjecture. If history repeats itself than the sea of humanity cannot waddle in water. Thus the authorities should be sure that water will get stagnated during this monsoon . It should be a blessing and a thing to be cherished not a one to be mourned about.

The broad road has a sprinkling of greenery on one side and a couple of large buildings on the other side. It is indeed heartening to the lush vegetation which makes this place an idyllic setting and beautifies the landscape.

If the nouveau stretch is fully ready then it is indeed a dream come true for many of us. There is bound to be heavy traffic and increase in human activity as well. The houses and apartments will emerge and the prices of the land will soar illogically. Inspite of all this Nanganallur will be bus starved. The dependency on the autowaalahs will increase. And as it is they think they are indispensable to Nanganallur.
