The Greater Chennai Corporation’s ambitious project to develop 143 parks across the city reflects its commitment to enhancing public spaces. With an estimated cost of ₹40.74 crore, the development aims to offer residents accessible green spaces for recreation and relaxation. However, concerns arise regarding the maintenance of these parks, prompting demands for increased staffing to ensure their upkeep.
Despite challenges such as local issues leading to the exclusion of six parks from the project, completed parks like Mint Park signify progress. The Corporation’s response to complaints about mosquito breeding underscores its commitment to addressing community concerns and ensuring the functionality and cleanliness of these newly developed recreational areas.
