Walkers throng renovated Chitlapakkam Lake, but new washroom out of bounds
New Indian ExpressCHENNAI: Chitlapakkam Lake was recently revamped as a retreat for walkers and joggers, however, residents in the locality have urged authorities to ensure proper maintenance so that it does not fall behind in amenities, including lighting and toilets. “Water resources department must prioritise completion of the lake’s amenities, including the washroom and walkers’ path,” he said. Chitlapakkam Residents Associations Coordination Committee convener P Viswanathan said, “Sections of the walkway on the eastern side were developed as part of a beautification project, but work on the western side was left unfinished, resulting in a fragmented path. The WRD has completed only about half of the work so far.” He added that the officials also failed to ensure proper maintenance of inlet channels and prevent dumping of sewage.
