GCC workers stifling residents’ voice on social media flagging civic issues
The HinduResidents who regularly flag civic issues on social media have complained that Chennai Corporation workers and employees of the civic body’s concessionaires were preventing them from taking photographs to highlight civic issues faced by the residents. Owing to the restrictions imposed by GCC workers and other labourers on contract, residents have been unable to share photos on social media to resolve civic issues. T.Nagar resident V.S.Jayaraman who had a similar experience with a GCC worker who him asked not to take photograph in T.Nagar said GCC should sensitise workers about the importance of photographs taken at work by residents who share civic issues on social media. Jacob Rajan Babu, senior law official of Chennai Corporation, said the GCC workers or workers of private companies executing civic projects cannot prevent any resident from taking their photographs while they were at work, as part of highlighting a civic issue on social media.
