Another housewarming in Jeeva Nagar

The Jeeva Nagar layout was abuzz with activity on Sunday
Another building is complete in Jeeva Nagar, for which the house warming was performed on Sunday. This building is closer to the Mangadu gate, and has a sizeable built-up area of about 2,300 sq feet.

The view of the layout as it appears on the day of this event should convince anyone that this residential complex is among the best shaping up in this part of the city, in spite of the neglect by the layout promoter, and the Mangadu Town Panchayat. The credit for all the development so far goes to the residents. The road in the photo was possible because the residents used the Right to Information Act, 2005, to compel the Mangadu Town Panchayat to act. The funds for the road were made available under the Anaithu Grama Anna Marumalarchi Thittam (Anna village renovation scheme).

Meanwhile active tree planting is going on in the area, with residents bringing Pongamia (Pungan) and Neem saplings for planting. Some of the labour in the construction sites are helping with the planting and watering. If you have a plot in Jeeva Nagar, please send us an email to advance the efforts for better civic development.

CMDA reply shows that Jeeva Nagar has access from Mt Poonamallee Road

The Chennai Metropolitan Develepment Authority has responded to the Right to Information Act application filed by the residents of Jeeva Nagar.
The reply makes it clear that there are two public roads leading to the layout, one in the Northeast and another on the Southwest.
The details of the roads are as follows:
Northeast public road -- 7.2 metres wide
Southwest Public Road -- 12.0 metres wide
Any obstruction of access from the Southwest Road, on the Mount - Poonamallee Road side is, therefore, not valid under the CMDA approved Plan.
