| Description |
The sourthern part of Velachery, on Chennai's southern border is the new development of Tansi Nagar, being build, probably unwisely, in low-lying swampland with the water table at the surface. The result of which is posh new buildings seem plopped in random spots surrounded by square ponds of water in the vacant plots. Much of this area is under water for weeks at a time during the monsoon season. It is an interesting window into Chennai urban planning and zoning control, or lack thereof. Many streets dead-end on buildings who have been clearly built illegally or with shady permits in spaces where the roads are supposed to run and intersect. This kind of encroachment unfortunately happens a lot here and is a big problem. Sad to see it isn't improving any with these brand-new areas. |
