Muttukadu reels under stench from sewage-mixed waters
The HinduHigh-rises, companies, and educational institutions dot the skyline of Muttukadu in the Padur panchayat, whose population has grown over the years. The locality, which is spread across Rajiv Gandhi Salai and the East Coast Road, is largely urbanised owing to the exponential growth of the information technology sector in the past decade.

At Hiranandani, resident R. Sankar says the complex is close to the backwaters and earlier it had felt the impact of garbage being dumped and burnt nearby.
