Brick Kiln Road: Chaos Amid Civic Neglect

Brick Kiln Road in Purasawalkam is a clear example of poor civic management.
The road has become chaotic because authorities are not enforcing rules properly,
and different departments are not working together.

Earlier, Brick Kiln Road was an important street that helped people move quickly
across the area. Today, it has turned into a crowded and messy place. Footpaths
are blocked by illegal shops and food carts, forcing pedestrians to walk on the
road. Abandoned furniture and old vehicles are left on the sides, taking up
space and making traffic worse.

Parking is another major problem. Vehicles are parked without any rules, which
slows down traffic and creates confusion. The road, which should have been a
smooth route for commuters, now struggles with daily traffic jams.

Local residents are frustrated. They say that despite repeated complaints,
little has been done to clear the encroachments or improve the situation.
Street vendors, while trying to earn a living, add to the congestion, making
it difficult for pedestrians and vehicles alike.

Experts say that better planning, strict enforcement, and coordination among
civic departments could help restore Brick Kiln Road. Removing illegal encroachments,
regulating parking, and providing proper spaces for vendors can make the road safe
and accessible again.

Until then, the busy street continues to show how neglect and poor management can
turn a once-important road into a daily struggle for commuters.
