Summary:
Government agencies including Corporation and the State Highways Department are said to store their equipment and other materials in the vacant land. Without any fencing, the open plot provides direct entry to the Ambattur railway station, which raises the question of safety for passengers. Nature abhors a vacuum: A vacant Corporation land on Chennai-Tiruvallur High (CTH) Road Ambattur Old Town illustrates this adage. “Steps will be taken to develop the open plot into a public utility soon,” says a Corporation official. Residents are for having park on the vacant land as it provides a good view of the railway tracks, and children will enjoy watching trains chug past them..
