Summary:
Motorists rely on lights fitted on the walls of OTA premises and some illumination coming from Nanganallur Metro station. At night, the pavement area towards the Alandur Metro station is unsafe. Pedestrians taking the spacious pavements from Alandur to St.
Thomas Mount on Tambaram-Guindy side have to watch out for iron rods that jut out of old buildings in Cantonment area of St.
Thomas Mount. As the stretch between the Officers Training Academy (OTA) and Nanganallur Metro Station Road on Grand Southern Trunk (GST) Road lacks lighting facilities, road users turn to other sources to pick their way through the dark, at night. On GST Road, between Alandur and Meenambakkam, tree branch trees have to be pruned to facilitate proper illumination,” says R.
