Summary:
Large-sized steel water pipes have been placed in front of the stopover, preventing buses from haltigng there. There have been instances of senior citizens suffering a fall at the bus shelter, while negotiating the pipes before boarding buses. The MTC stopover at Sakthi Nagar in Porur on Mount-Poonamallee Main Road is wide, but much of out of bounds for buses and commuters. The stopover is meant for buses heading for Porur, Iyyapanthangal, Poonamallee and Kundrathur. For a month now, private contractors with Chennai Metrowater are laying pipelines between Ramapuram and Porur, a distance of around three kilometres, along the stretch towards Porur..
