Residents of Chennai set to Contest Independently in Civic Polls
In Chennai, T Nagar residents are set to nominate an independent resident candidate to contest the coming civic polls. T Nagar Residents’ Welfare Association members say the process of selecting eligible candidates will begin at the next meeting. The association feels an independent from the locality will ensure the views of residents are taken into account, especially before roads are laid or water and drainage connections are provided. “Most of the commercial buildings in this area do not follow fire safety norms nor do they have proper building or business permits,” said treasurer R Mohan. “Even though many of the commercial buildings are illegal, residents have no say on what comes up next to their homes,” he added.
