Following this decision, Chennai will soon have a skyline free of hoardings.
The apex court turned down the hoarding owners' plea and around 80,000 such hoardings in the state will be affected by this judgement.
Over 2000 hoardings were removed in Chennai during November 2006 and currently, around 3000 applications for hoarding licences are pending with the state government
whats with koyambedu and padi grade separators? has there been any progress at all?once the bypass is complete, it will considerably reduce traffic on irr at anna nagar and pressure at koyambedu junction. there is no hope yet for vadapalani junction or the entire kodambakkam/arcot rd.
I noticed that, in this link as well as in many others, they're talking about Kathipara flyover getting completed by Mar-08. I'm sure that was not even a possibility from the authorities view. I think they were talking about getting the main arm of flyover ready by Mar-08. That's all.

Britannia sits on prime land and it stands to reason that the company would encash it. The sale is likely to fetch Britannia close to Rs3bn in view of the appreciation in real estate value in this region.
Top on the list of bidders is HCL, which has been scouting for land in industrial suburbs.
not much focus on koyambedu flyover. they have done some basic work near vijaykanth's ex-wedding hall and also cleared some slums along cooum. otherwise nothing much. but i wonder how this clover lead flyover, elevated road to link maduravoyal & port and metro rail line can all co-exist.whats with koyambedu and padi grade separators? has there been any progress at all?
nand group, the $640 million automotive components and systems major, is looking at setting up at least four new greenfield facilities in Chennai to support the requirements of its prospective customers. The Delhi headquartered group is in talks with two joint ventures of Nissan-Renault and Ashok Leyland for manufacturing exhaust systems for passenger cars and LCVs, respectively.
Once the deals are through, the group would be setting up four facilities in Chennai before 2010, said Mr C. S. Patel, Chief Executive Officer, Anand Automotive Systems. This would make Chennai as the largest revenue generating hub for Anand Group, he said.
ETI’s New facility
Mr Patel was addressing the media during the inauguration of a manufacturing facility of a group company, Emcon Technologies India Private Ltd (ETI), which is a 74:26 joint venture between the US-based Emcon Technologies and the Anand group.
ETI has so far invested $4 million including $2.5 million invested in the new plant in Maraimalainagar, inaugurated on Monday. The CEO of $4 billion Emcon Technologies, Mr Lee Gardner, said ETI would further infuse $10 million for capacity expansion and creation of new facilities. ...........
