Residents say traffic inside Chengalpattu town turns chaotic, especially during weekends and festivals as vehicles from the GST Road take the narrow interior roads. | Photo Credit: M. Karunakaran Not much has happened in terms of development in the Chengalpattu Assembly Constituency over the last five years. Demands such as cleaning the Kolavai lake, completion of work to lay sewer lines, connecting the subway below the Chengalpattu rail over bridge, and provision of Palar River water to all areas, remain unfulfilled, say residents. The constituency has been alternatively choosing candidates belonging to AIADMK and DMK. It has a considerable farming community that has been demanding check dams across the Palar River to improve ground water levels.
