Nagar Exnora Innovators Club held a spe- cial meet recently at Exnora International Head Office (T. Nagar) to discuss a number of impend- ing civic issues like heavy traffic congestion near pedestrian crossings, possible problems due to the proposed multi-storied vehicle parking near Panagal Park and encroachment by roadside eateries in T. Nagar which are unhygienic and create health hazards. Office bearers from sev- eral Civic Exnora units in T. Nagar participated in the meet. R. Sridharan (President, T. Nagar Exnora Innovators Club) and R. Govindaraj (Joint Secretary, Exnora International) addressed the gathering. It passed the following resolutions which will be submitted to the concerned authorities: 1. Construction of pedestrian subways or foot- overbridges at three key junctions on Usman Road to ease traffic chaos. 2. Removal of roadside eateries. 3. Ensure that the proposed multi- storeyed vehicle parking at Panagal Park does not aggravate the already heavy traffic jams at this junction.
