Madurai City - Transport (Road & Rail) Projects

This Bridge is the exact Center of Madurai City leading to the Periyar City-Bus Terminus from where the city-buses ply to different parts & Highly-crowded Railway Junction...Outsiders will land in Madurai here only first..This place itself is in such a condition..Will totally spoil the image of MADURAI...

I dono what the hell is for Madurai Corporation ? What work is there for them apart from maintaining the City ? Money-minded idiots..!

A powerful for the Contractor who built the bridge...Doubt arises on its life-time...

Before 10 yrs..Madurai-a 52 sq.kms City wonders the state-people with more than 5 bus-stands each one in different directions of the city...But due to the efforts of PTR , Ring road and Integrated Bus terminus was created for Madurai and All the Moffusil bus-stands except Arapalayam were shifted to MIBT..

Palanganatham Moffusil Bus-stand complex in Madurai South was the one among them from where the southern bound moffusil buses took off...Anna Bus stand complex was utilised for the expansion of GRH..But the Palanganatham Bus-stand complex is still remaining a vacant land in several acres at the heart of the City today..It will be better if MC/some other Govt body can utilise the area to develop their Govt offices etc., For ex.. Madurai Passport Office is now running in a rental building that struggles with the demand for space daily..

So, Madurai Passport Office can be shifted to Palanganatham where a bulk of lands are availiable to create a well-amenited building with all the needed infrastructures and parking area..This will help the City's growth in that area also..Hope MC will consider this and make use of Palanganatham busstand complex..

for the traffic authorities of Madurai for permitting these things..They can inspect the places where all the lorries are hiding inside the city and make a ride over there to avoid these things..then only they can get control of the lorries in Madurai...Really LORRIES are the main head-ache for Madurai...Hope MC will soon take the action on this regulation.

People,
An easy-means to demand our MP.Mr.MK.Azhagiri for us now :

http://www.mkalagiri.com/

He's recieving the petitions through his website now..Luckily, only few petitions were processed online and we have the high-chances of getting the attention of our MP if all our forum members post their demands to develop Madurai (AERO-PARK) there...Hope you will do it..Letz try our best..

This is my petition posted there recently :

Respected Sir,
I congratulate you first for your efforts taken for the industrialisation of Madurai..
Sir, You promised the Rs.48,000 Crs Aero-Park to Come-up in Madurai..But I found in internet that an aeropark is planned in Chennai by TN Govt & CII-chennai..I fear that the dream project escapes from Madurai..Bcz this single project has a great ability to industrialise not only Madurai,the whole southern Tamilnadu in an overnight if it comes true..So, Kindly I request you to give more importance to bring-in the aero-park project to Madurai sir that can lift our city's image internationally..

Also I request you to take action on redefining the Madurai Corporation City limit from present 52 sq.kms to the proposed 130 sq.kms by merging the nearby places in all directions so that the city infrastructure can well be planned for the expediting industrialisation in this region..

Please Consider the million lives of Madurai youths like me who settled in other cities like chennai bcz of unemployment...Kindly,I request you to focus on the same and prevent our people migrating to other developing cities like Coimbatore,Chennai etc.. by creating the oppurtunities..

MADURAI's FUTURE lies in YOUR HANDS sir...

Once again...Hats Off for your powerful actions to develop MADURAI Sir..

whatz the reason for removing dividers all over the city? some one of you please update me on this. So far I did not get any answer for this?

[Madurai gilli]

that was really idiotic friend...I agree Madurai s having the narrow roads with no chance to be extended but removing the medians telling it's increasing the space in road is completely sense-less.. for the Madurai Commissioner to take such ugly actions here..Hope they will make it again..

[Maduraikarainga]

Someone of you pls update me on the Multilevel parking proposal near Meenakshi amman temple. Is it in good shape ?

Our corporation is doing nonsense when it comes to removing and building dividers. The dividers they have built in K.K Nagar and Anna Nagar roads are really attrocious. The width of the divider is like 3+ feet which has reduced the width of the road. At the same time they are removing dividers at many other places.

This article demands :

1. To make TPK as Hub for city Buses in Madurai South and make many-more new connections from TPK to other parts of the city.

2. Need of Circle Bus TPK - TPK...(Earlier we discussed this in our forum)

3. As TPK being a hot tourist spot, there are large no. of Pilgrim tourists going from TPK to other pilgrim centers in the city like Pondy Koil,Azhagar Koil,Madapuram,Surya Nagar,Thirumoghur etc., So TPK needs direct connection to all these temple-towns.

4. Need to utilise the TPK - MKU road via thenpalanji (We discussed it here)

MADURAI: Stagnant sewage in the Vandiyur channel due to lack of proper disposal system opposite Mattuthavani Integrated Bus Stand is posing a serious health hazard for hundreds of residents in the area and thousands of people who use the bus stand every day.

Besides emanating a foul odour, the sewage stagnating for about 300 metres along the Madurai-Melur highway has become a fertile breeding ground for mosquitoes.

This stretch of channel is definitely an eyesore for Madurai as any outsider arriving at the Mattuthavani bus stand would not miss the muck if he walks along the highway, either to eat at one of the many restaurants/eateries or to stay in the lodges in the vicinity.

“At least 5,000 customers come to the hotels every day. And the wastewater they use for washing hand is let into the channel,” says K.L. Kumar, president of Madurai District Hotels’ Association, who also runs a hotel here.

Stating that the commercial establishments had paid the underground deposits in 2003 itself, he said that despite many representations and reminders to the Corporation officials to provide proper underground drainage facility, nothing had materialised for seven years. “We have got the Dangerous and Offensive (Trade) license from the Corporation and pay all taxes. But, we have not got this basic facility. We are forced to let the sewage into the drainage channel as there is no other means,” Mr. Kumar says.

On the mosquito menace, he said that the customers as well as workers who remained at the place day and night had to put up with mosquito bites. “Almost all our workers were affected by chikungunya recently,” he said.

Groundwater too
The channel washes off the collected sewage only when there is flood. The stagnation of filth on the channel and the nearby open areas over the years has also polluted groundwater, residents complain. “People are complaining of foul odour in the groundwater in some places,” Mr. Kumar says.

Corporation Chief Engineer K. Sakthivel says that except for the Press Colony, the entire area in Mattuthavani, including the bus stand, did not have underground drainage network. “We have included these areas in the next phase of underground drainage work planned for the left-out areas in the city,” he said. The work is expected to be completed by March next year.

The residents of Press Colony feel that till such time the area gets proper drainage, the local body should take steps to at least to prevent mosquito breeding.
