Summary:
Almost all the interior roads in the area are choked with moving and parked vehicles and makeshift shops selling puja articles to temple visitors. The Mada streets around the Kapaleeswarar temple are the worst of all, said Pazhani, another resident. “Despite ‘no parking’ signs, temple visitors park their vehicles on South and East Mada streets. While the commercial establishments in North and South Mada streets in itself are encroachments, they abandon their vehicles on the roads. When contacted, a traffic police official in the area said that traffic is being regulated regularly in the area..
