Panagal Park is one of the last lung spaces for residents of T. Nagar. But it is under a constant threat. The oasis of green with tall trees has given way to blue opaque barricades with CMRL emblazoned across. Almost all of the park has been taken over. The few trees that survive are also under threat, fear residents.
Though Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has assuaged their fears by saying that the design of the Panagal Park station was tweaked to ensure that the lung space remained intact, lack of transparency and information has left room for suspicions and speculation.
