Broken Street Lights on 5th Avenue, Adyar
More than 15 street lights on 5th Avenue in Adyar have been non-functional for over three months, making the road extremely unsafe for pedestrians and two-wheeler riders after dark. Multiple complaints have been filed with BESCOM but no action has been taken. The affected stretch is near a school and a women's college, making this a safety concern especially for female students who return home in the evening.
