Nattu Subbarayan St. community has to live with messy, open plot in its midst

The residents of Nattu Subbarayan Street, Mylapore ( an area located some 5 streets behind Citi Centre mall) have had to tolerate a mess of the worst kind.

Of an open plot of land that is a waste dump, a place to urinate and for passing cattle to feed on rubbish.

One resident, a scholar says that some 100 men answer nature’s call every day. “You can imagine the stink that this causes,” he said in an e-mail.

It seems the land is under litigation — and this has been going on for over 5 years. Residents wonder if the local unit of Chennai Corporation can do something like fencing off this plot.
