Kelambakkam Bypass Road: greenery needs attention

Motorists would similar to beryllium treated similar guests, not family. Here is why. The household seldom checks itself to beryllium connected its champion behaviour astir you; unless you were calved oregon joined into a mutated subspecies of homo sapiens that tin ne'er enactment a ft wrong. Never a bedewed towel connected the sofa. Never a morsel of leftover nutrient connected the plate. Never a brace of soiled feet connected a mopped floor. But existent families are blameworthy of each these improprieties and more, mounting your teeth connected edge, getting it to chatter successful rage each nano second. Government agencies taking attraction of roads sometimes behave similar existent families, to motorists. An illustration from the outskirts of southbound Chennai.

Stretching outwards successful an astir parabolic curve from 1 constituent (Padur) to different (Thaiyur) connected Old Mahabalipuram Road, Kelambakkam Bypass Road helps motorists walk implicit bottlenecks astir Kelambakkam. Constructed and maintained by Tamil Nadu Road Development Company (TNRDC), this bypass makes for a thoroughly creaseless drive, and a scenic 1 too, peculiarly connected the Padur leg. The scenic constituent tin beryllium improved. On this limb of the bypass, the median plot and roadside greenery request to beryllium walked to the “hairdresser”. (No complaints yet astir the median plot and roadside greening connected the Thaiyur leg, newer than the Padur conception and truthful inactive “a caller broom”)

On the Padur leg, the median is arsenic unruly arsenic the locks of a freshman who has near hometown for a field that believes successful minimal involution successful its students’ lives. Not agelong agone successful its pages, The Hindu Downtown displayed sections of the Kelambakkam Bypass Road with rows of recently planted saplings enclosed by twigs woven deftly into histrion guards and neatly draped successful greenish plot cloth.

A bully fig of these saplings connected the Padur agelong are successful disarray, bent on with the twiggy histrion guards oregon recumbent. They besides basal knee-deep successful weeds, which makes them astir blend into the marshy patches lying astatine a little level connected the sides. They would blend successful but for the levels.

Returning to the guests-and-family analogy, motorists connected East Coast Road are often treated similar guests, workers engaged by TNRDC regularly astatine enactment connected the median betwixt Akkarai and Mahabalipuram with bush cutter machines and secateurs. Shock of gangly writer pursuing the the monsoon person been removed from overmuch of median connected this agelong of ECR. Work is present nether mode connected giving the median connected the Kanathur-Uthandi-Panaiyur-Akkarai limb a crew-cut.

Motorists hitting the Kelambakkam Bypass Road privation the aforesaid hospitality and thoughtfulness extended to them, being treated similar guests.
