Cracks on Main Road due to construction of multi-storey apartment create fear for residents in Velachery

The residents of Seshadripuram First Main Road in Velachery are living in constant fear because of the cracks that keep appearing on the road due to construction of a multi-storey apartment. 

The Seshadripuram First Main Road is an important link road to the Perungudi railway station of the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS). It also has several multi-storey apartments. However, when excavation for construction of a new multi-storey apartment started in July last year, a big portion of the main road caved in. The excavation also resulted in cracks appearing on the compound wall of the nearby apartments. The Chennai Corporation, following the appeal of residents, directed the construction to be stopped and paved the road anew.
