#Ammaunavagam initiated in 2013 by the then ruling #AIADMK government as a flagship scheme. These canteens are infested with rodents, broken floors, kitchens are filthy, utensils are broken. The once-celebrated budget eateries has been falling apart due to official apathy

Pumping Station Street in Purasawalkam is turning into a dumpyard — with stray animals, garbage piles, and zero accountability. Residents, fed up with months of civic neglect, are demanding immediate action @chennaicorp

Thousands of Chennai roads are still waiting for a proper re-lay, with over 900 untouched since 2021. Despite massive spending by @chennaicorp, poor planning and Metro water-related delays have left key areas struggling with potholes and unsafe surfaces. #ChennaiRoads

Parking in Chennai is now free as Texco’s contract has ended due to overcharging and corruption. If anyone asks for payment, refuse and report to the GCC helpline 1913 or via social media. A new smart parking system by CUMTA is being planned by @chennaicorp

Chennai has slipped from 5th to 104th place in the Swachh Survekshan state level rankings 2024-25. Poor waste management, filthy public toilets, and almost no garbage segregation have pushed the city into a sanitation crisis. While the GCC blames citizens for poor feedback.

A delve into how a @mkstalin endorsed project has hardly kicked off in Chennai. In 2022, at a CUMTA meeting, CM urges officials to make pathways to schools safe for students by regulating traffic and upgrading infra. For @TOIChennai

Starting Aug 1, @chennaicorp bans manual cleaning of stormwater drains & catch pits. GCC to use machines for safer, efficient clearing—aiming to prevent monsoon waterlogging. 1 lakh pits to be cleaned before NEM 2025

Monthly @chennaicorp council meetings turn into a time-pass for many councillors. This is a place once administered by chief minister @mkstalin but now, it’s nothing close to its former glory. Though on paper there’s an attendance of 160/200 councillors during yesterday’s meet,…

@PriyarajanDMK @kgbias @Chief_Secy_TN @mkstalin @CMOTamilnadu @Subramanian_ma @Office_of_Udhay Pls take action on such Councillors.. their job is to work towards public welfare, isn't it. @Udhaystalin @UpdatesChennai @Swedha_RK

GCC council meetings see poor participation — councillors sign in, then vanish. Out of 200, barely 25 stayed as discussions began. 160 marked present, but no meaningful debate happened

Poor hygiene, unregulated slaughter, and unsafe meat handling plague GCC-run abattoirs in Chennai. Rotten meat, lack of inspections, and open waste disposal pose a serious public health risk. Experts warn that unsafe meat could be a major threat @chennaicorp

Cockroaches, rats and BRIBERY: That’s Chennai’s Rajiv Gandhi Govt General Hospital for you. Patients pay bribes upto Rs 1,000 to get things done. “For the pre-surgery head shave, we paid ₹100. It was done without safety measures,” said a brain surgery patient’s attendant.…

Roaches, rats, bribes & broken beds — that’s the state of emergency care at Rajiv Gandhi Govt General Hospital (RGGGH). Patients wait hours for CT scans, buy their own essentials, & face horrific hygiene. Attandants are forced to spend at least Rs 1,000 as bribes at the hospital

TOI impact: R Jayashri, a class 12 topper from Chennai Girls Higher Secondary School (CGHSS) in Nungambakkam with 572 marks was offered a seat with a full scholarship by the Chairman of Ethiraj College. On Wednesday, she will receive her admission letter @chennaicorp

@Swedha_RK @omjasvinMD spread the word for your articles pls. Make chennai better.. need more articles like these for a better city!! @TOIIndiaNews @TOIChennai

Timely article by @Swedha_RK emphasizing on the failures of successive administrations to restore dignity to pedestrians and cyclists @chennaicorp @kgbias pedestrians are living breathing and working residents of Chennai too! We have equal rights on our public roads, restore it!

S. Rajeswari becomes the first woman to be appointed as Chief Engineer (General) in @chennaicorp. In a major reshuffle, she was transferred from her earlier role as CE (SWM and Mechanical) to take charge of key departments including bus route roads, and town planning

எனது எழும்பூர் தொகுதிக்கு உட்பட்ட வேப்பேரி - ஆரியன் சந்து பகுதியில் மழைக்காலங்களில் நீர் தேங்குவது பற்றி இன்று @TOIChennai நாளிதழில் செய்தி வெளியிடப்பட்டிருந்து. இது குறித்து இன்று மாலை நேரில் சென்று களஆய்வு மேற்கொண்டேன். @mkstalin @Udhaystalin @arivalayam @DMK_Chennai @DMKITwing…

TOI impact: A day after TOI published an article about waterlogging on Arian Lane in Vepery caused by a stormwater drain that hasn’t been de-silted for nearly a decade, Egmore MLA @iparanthamen inspected the area on Monday and assured swift action @chennaicorp

@PriyarajanDMK மேடம் சென்னையில் இருக்கிற 200 கவுன்சிலர்களையும் அவரவர் வார்டுகளில் #ஏரியாசபை-களை காலாண்டு தோறும் முறைப்படி நடத்தி அதில் எழுப்பப்படும் பிரச்சனைகளை சோனல் & கவுன்சில் கூட்டங்களுக்கு கொண்டு வரசெய்து தீர்வு கண்டால், இந்த 'மக்களை தேடி மேயர்' திட்டம் தேவையே இல்லையே? 1/2
