Open EB junction box safety hazard

Sir, The doors are missing from the rustedEB junction box on 1st Cross Street, West CITNagar since 2015. EB officials have taken nosteps to replace the missing doors in spite ofnumerous complaints. The live terminals andcables inside the junction box are exposed.

It is a safety hazard as there is a risk ofunwary pedestrians being electrocuted, espe-cially children. Even stray animals like dogsand cattle face this danger.

I appeal to the officials concerned to takeimmediate action to repair the junction box orreplace it. Ram, Sri Krupa Flats, 1st CrossStreet, West CIT Nagar

Sir, As garbage is not collected daily from thehouseholds on 1st Cross Street, West CIT Nagar.the residents are forced to dump the plastic bagsfilled with garbage on the street margin. In ourflat complex, the daily household waste is put ina plastic container kept near the gate, but theconservancy workers do not clear it regularly. Itleads to overflowing of garbage which is a healthhazard.The photo shows garbage bags whichhave been lying on the street margin opposite ourflat complex for more than 4 days.

I appeal to the officers of Chennai Corporationto make an inspection and ensure that the conser-vancy workers assigned to our area collect thegarbage on a daily basis. Ram, Sree KrupaFlats, 13, 1st Cross Street, West CIT Nagar

Garbage woes in West CIT Nagar

Metrowater not giving delivery dateSir, After piped Metrowater supply has al-

most come to a standstill in many areas, theresidents depend on borewells, or are forced tobuy water from Metrowater at moderate ratesor from private tanker owners at exorbitantrates. With ground water levels depleting, manyborewells have also gone dry.

However, as many cannot afford to buy fromprivate tankers regularly, planning can bedone if Metrowater can indicate the likely dateof delivery at the time of booking.

At present Metrowater is not giving thespecific dates of delivery and the status isreflected online as ‘Pending’.

I appeal to Metrowater to provide the date ofdelivery for consumers to monitor consump-tion and schedule ordering. P. K. Subramanian,Aishwarya Apartments, Gandhi Street, T.Nagar, Ph: 98402 93321

Roads not milled before relaying Sir, As per road laying norms, the surface has

to be milled before relaying, to prevent its levelincreasing.

But I have seen this practice rarely followedby the Corporation contractors.

In many roads in West Mambalam, thehouses are below the road level, which leads towater inundation during rains. The problemalso exists in Motilal Street, where I reside. Anumber of houses and apartments are at alower level.

I appeal to the Corporation officials to con-duct inspections to ensure that the road ismilled before relaying and penalize those notdoing so. V. S. Narayanaswamy, MotilalStreet, T. Nagar

‘Crazy’ Mohan was a humble soulSir, The sudden passing away of Mohan

Rangachari (popularly known as ‘Crazy’Mohan), the founder of the drama troupe ‘CrazyCreations’, has created a big void for his troupemembers to fill.

At this moment of grief to his family, friends,fans and the film/drama fraternity, I need tooffer interesting information which would showhis trait of not seeking undue publicity.

When the movie ‘Chinna Mappillai’ withPrabhu in the lead was released in January1993, I observed Mohan’s name as playwrightmentioned in all the banners at UdayamTheater, but not at Shanthi Theater. When Imentioned this to Mohan while attending hisplay that evening, he just waved his handstating that such things happen sometimesand requested me not to make it an issue. Suchwas his humility. He never craved for publicityand allowed his work to speak for itself.

He donned varied hats as an accomplisheddramatist, playwright, poet and even an artiste.His celebrity status came due to his talent,hard work, simplicity and leadership qualitiesin keeping his troupe together. His script workwith all age groups encompasses the outlook ofthe changing generations.

Though he has left a huge void, I am sureother stalwarts of the troupe like Kanthan andBalaji will keep the flag flying and continue toenthrall audiences. N. Vijaya-raghavan 59/1, Muthalamman Koil Street, WestMambalam

Revive and save water bodiesSir, It is well known and has been reported

several times in the media by experts that theconversion of water bodies into real estate isone of the primary reasons for the severewater crisis in the city in spite of heavy floodsin 2015. With most of the water bodiesconverted into housing complexes, and failureof monsoon over the past two years, it is nowimportant for the authorities to deepen, desiltand clean all the reservoirs, canals and theremaining water bodies to ensure thatwhatever rain we get this monsoon is stored inabundance. Similarly, both the govt. and thepublic should take immediate steps to improvethe rain water harvesting structures to ensurethat the water table also improves.

The govt. should also tighten norms to savethe remaining water bodies and create newones to mitigate any water crisis in the future.N. Vijayaraghavan, 59/1, MuthalammanKoil Street, West Mambalam, Ph: 9962664766

Lax security check in metro stationsSir, It is estimated that more than 1 lakh

passengers utilize the metro rail services daily.I am one of them, and commute daily by

metro to office and back.But, of late, I have noticed laxity in the

security system in metro stations.Often, the security personnel in Ashok Pillar

and Vadapalani stations do not check baggageor frisk the commuters. It is a serious securitylapse. What is the purpose of installing baggagescanning machines in the stations if they arenot used at all times.

I have also noticed the outsourced securitypersonnel missing from their posts, even duringpeak hours. With increasing crowds in Metrostations, it is important that security measuresare strengthened.

CCTV cameras may be a good securitymeasure, but 100% checking of baggage andfrisking of commuters is a must. Balasingh,9th Avenue, Ashok Nagar

Private vendorsincrease waterrates 3-fold

With the water crisisworsening in the city, many aredependent on private vendors,who have increased prices bythree times over that last twomonths. “From Rs. 1,600 (for12,000 liters of water) in April,the cost went up to Rs. 3,500 inMay and now it has beenincreased to Rs 5,000 per load.

Metrowater charges Rs. 1,000for 12,000 liters but the waitingtime is close to a month.

Metrowater is unable to meetthe city’s water needs indepen-dently. As against more than1000 bookings a day, only 600deliveries are made. Accordingto a Metrowater official, pipedwater supply in the city has beencut by 80%, leaving the residentsdependent on Metrowatertankers or private suppliers.

To try and find a way out, someresidents have dug deepborewells at high cost, often invain, as the groundwater levelshave receded to alarming levels.
