Anna Salai to be spic and span

The centenary celebrations of Ripon Buildings will be held later this year. Anna Salai, E.V.R. Periyar Salai, Kamarajar Salai and Dr. Radhakrishnan Salai stretches will be declared ‘Ripon Buildings centenary sanitary zones’ by the Corporation and are likely to be swept thrice a day.
The civic body has begun preparation of estimates for 10 such zones to be provided with superior solid waste management, aesthetics, health, sanitation and lighting facilities. Also, buildings on these roads will be spruced up, damaged street furniture will be restored and bridges will get aesthetic lighting.
The Chennai Corporation has asked other government agencies to paint buildings on the arterial stretches and improve the ambience as part of the centenary celebrations. City roads are usually swept just once a day and most stretches have lost their aesthetic appeal to infrastructure works that are under way in various parts of the city.
