Sir
I am a resident of Madhananathpuram. The mini bus
(No. S-27) was recently stopped by the authorities.
It was operated from Porur to Nandambakkam
covering Madhanandapuram, Bai Kadai, Madha Nagar,
Mugalivakkam, L& T Colony and Manapakkam.
Since the areas are occupied by office goers, the bus
service was patronized by local residents.
Those areas are also not well connected by the other
MTC bus routes.
The sudden suspension of bus service has affected
the people especially office goers and daily wage
laborers.
So, I request the authorities concerned to resume
the bus service immediately. R.Kannan EVP Rajeswari
Avenue & VND Avenue Welfare Association,
Madhanandapuram.
