In every election, voters in Virugambakkam constituency express their hopes on the candidates, wishing that a time would come when they could travel without getting stuck in the traffic snarl or ride safely on non-water roads during the monsoon. Huh. By now, they have been disappointed.
With a voter of 2.91 lakh, Virugambakkam, Virugambakkam, Saligramam, parts of Arumbakkam and areas such as Koyambedu and KK Nagar were included, after delimitation exercise. The electorate is a combination of middle-class and lower-middle-class voters, and many are troubled by their continued struggle with traffic congestion and flooding.
Virugambakkam Residents Welfare Association President S. “Apart from this, there are quite a few areas which are prone to floods during the monsoon. We need some more mini-pumping stations to deal with this problem. We want these issues resolved at the earliest, ”he demanded.
Ekambaram, who runs a small shop, said, “We are tired of hearing free promises from major parties. Nobody wants anything for free here. If they correct civic issues, create more jobs and control inflation that ruins our business, we will be happy. ”
VN Virugai Ravi of AIADMK, which represents the constituency, said that the widening of Kalimman Koil Street was underway and about 1.5 km of work had been completed so far.
“Even in many areas the flood has reduced to a great extent and the minute residents call me, I go to the spot with a team to pump water. Apart from this, we also relax large scale storm drains and Virugambakkam canal.
But some of the infrastructural development in recent years can be attributed to the quarters of the IAS officers who have come to Nirkundam.
In this election, DMK fielded AMV Prabhakar Raja against Shri Ravi. Sri Prabhakar Raja is the son of Vikram Raja, the organizer of a youth wing and Tamil Nadu Vanigar Sangam Permaippu leader.
The day his candidacy was announced, the former councilor K. Thanasekaran along with his supporters refused to give him a ticket. The DMK candidate is excited though.
“The storm drains are in bad shape, causing flooding. If given the chance, they will be my first priority. “The legislative office will work throughout the day to redress public grievances,” he said.
Lyricist Snehan Makkal is seeking votes on Nidi Mayim’s ticket, while K.K. Vidubalan is contesting from the AMMK camp.
