A. It will place an agenda item to create interior roads in Jeeva Nagar at the next Council meeting.
B. Action is being taken to provide street lighting in Jeeva Nagar.
C. Jeeva Nagar is a low lying area - The Town Panchayat will take steps to measure the height and raise the roads to avoid flooding during monsoon.
D. Action is being taken to maintain the Open Space Reservation as a park, and to clear garbage without delay.
The copy of the RTI reply has been sent by the Panchayat to the Additional Director, Town Panchayats, Kancheepuram Zone, and to the PA (General) of District Collector, Kancheepuram.
If you have a plot in this layout, we urge you to write individual letters to the Mangadu Town Panchayat, No.78, Vaigundaperumal Koil Street, Mangadu, Chennai-600122., Pin Code demanding that the above stated facilities are provided at the earliest. Property owners should think of filing individual RTI petitions themselves, after the Council meeting is held regarding the proposals.

| BOOMING LAYOUT: Jeeva Nagar is the kind of CMDA-approved layout that everyone wants right in suburban Chennai, but is not available now. It is witnessing steady house-building activity. Multi-storeyed flats are also coming up in the layout. The Mangadu Town Panchayat has, however, not provided basic amenities for eight years, but has now promised to rectify civic problems.
