Last Tuesday, when residents of Fourth Main Road of Kasturba Nagar at Adyar in Chennai rushed out of their home, startled by a loud noise, their frustration with the condition of the road they were putting up with for nearly a month worsened.
The noise was the result of earthmoving equipment disturbing the underground electric cable. With the entire stretch of road dug on one side, the carriageway has been reduced by half. Many apartments have been unable to take out their vehicles, even in a medical emergency.
