Tamil Nadu Election 2026: Poonamallee Constituency Residents Highlight Shortcomings in Civic Amenities Amid Infrastructure Developments

Residents of the Chembarambakkam area are calling for improvements to essential infrastructure, specifically a fully functional underground sewer system, better-maintained interior roads, and a reliable supply of drinking water. Despite the presence of the Chembarambakkam lake, which is a significant local resource, the community continues to experience ongoing water supply challenges.

In response to constituents concerns, DMK MLA Krishnaswamy has stated that the majority of the partys election promises have been fulfilled. However, residents remain skeptical, highlighting the necessity for urgent attention to their basic needs, particularly in terms of water management and road conditions. The area is known for its lake, which serves as a crucial water supply, yet the recurring shortages raise questions about water distribution and management systems in place.

Furthermore, the local government has been urged to prioritize these issues to enhance living conditions and meet the expectations of the community. This situation reflects broader challenges in urban infrastructure management, particularly in rapidly growing areas across the state.
