Perumbakkam Roads Plagued by Quick-Fix Solutions and Dust Concerns

Residents of gated communities and neighborhoods off Global Hospital Road in Perumbakkam, Chennai, face ongoing challenges due to the poor condition of the thoroughfare. The roads, including Embassy Residency Road and Global Hospital Road, are marred by potholes, depressions, and a cycle of quick-fix solutions using brick debris and other materials.

These makeshift repairs lead to rising dust, causing air pollution and health concerns for residents, especially schoolchildren. Despite the presence of multiple schools and gated communities along these roads, a lasting solution involving proper road-laying remains elusive. Residents emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to address the deteriorating condition of the roads and prevent recurring issues.
