#Ammaunavagam initiated in 2013 by the then ruling #AIADMK government as a flagship scheme. These canteens are infested with rodents, broken floors, kitchens are filthy, utensils are broken. The once-celebrated budget eateries has been falling apart due to official apathy

Thousands of Chennai roads are still waiting for a proper re-lay, with over 900 untouched since 2021. Despite massive spending by @chennaicorp, poor planning and Metro water-related delays have left key areas struggling with potholes and unsafe surfaces. #ChennaiRoads

Parking in Chennai is now free as Texco’s contract has ended due to overcharging and corruption. If anyone asks for payment, refuse and report to the GCC helpline 1913 or via social media. A new smart parking system by CUMTA is being planned by @chennaicorp

Chennai has slipped from 5th to 104th place in the Swachh Survekshan state level rankings 2024-25. Poor waste management, filthy public toilets, and almost no garbage segregation have pushed the city into a sanitation crisis. While the GCC blames citizens for poor feedback.

GCC council meetings see poor participation — councillors sign in, then vanish. Out of 200, barely 25 stayed as discussions began. 160 marked present, but no meaningful debate happened

Poor hygiene, unregulated slaughter, and unsafe meat handling plague GCC-run abattoirs in Chennai. Rotten meat, lack of inspections, and open waste disposal pose a serious public health risk. Experts warn that unsafe meat could be a major threat.@chennaicorp

Pumping Station Street in Purasawalkam is turning into a dumpyard — with stray animals, garbage piles, and zero accountability. Residents, fed up with months of civic neglect, are demanding immediate action .@chennaicorp

Roaches, rats, bribes & broken beds — that’s the state of emergency care at Rajiv Gandhi Govt General Hospital (RGGGH). Patients wait hours for CT scans, buy their own essentials, & face horrific hygiene. Attandants are forced to spend at least Rs 1,000 as bribes at the hospital
