Three months after launch, work at Wall Tax road tenement shoddy, incomplete in Chennai

CHENNAI: Nearly three months after Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin inaugurated the Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board (TNUHDB) tenements at Meenambal Shivaraj Nagar along Wall Tax Road, the 90 families who have moved in so far said that they have been facing drinking water troubles. Residents also said that the overhead water tanks are exposed without lids, sparking health concerns. Residents said that while two water pumps have been installed, they frequently break down, reducing the per-day water supply drastically. Since each tank is shared by multiple households, the supply is insufficient for daily needs, they added. Even when the motors function, water is pumped to the overhead tanks only once a day, one resident said. The tenement comprises 308 housing units (stilt + 11 floors) constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 40.14 crore by the TNUHDB. According to the residents, though the complex has two sumps with a combined storage capacity of 1.5 lakh litres, they said that only four metro water tanks each with a capacity of 9,000 litres worth are being filled. They added that while one sump is clean, the other, located at the edge of the premises, is unclean and open to contamination risks. The sump is covered only with a metal sheet and remains partially exposed amid overgrown bushes. Dilip Kumar, a resident, said, Only 90 families have moved in so far, while others are yet to occupy their units. Even now water is insufficient, it is unclear what will happen once all the flats are occupied. Earlier, before the building was reconstructed, we had access to hand pumps and never faced such issues. Similar hand pumps need to be installed here, and it is also necessary to ensure that the sump is cleaned, properly covered and that the motors are repaired and well-maintained. When TNIE visited the tenements, it was observed that nearly all overhead water storage areas on the terrace remain uncovered. Residents said that despite nearly three months since inauguration, many essential works remain incomplete. Unfinished windows without shutters allow rainwater to enter homes, unlocked houses that are yet to be occupied have also led to animals wandering in and soiling the interiors. Compound walls are still under construction, and the lifts require constant repairs. Multiple attempts to reach TNUHDB officials for a comment were unsuccessful.

Holistic wellness through all ages

What does holistic healthcare truly mean for a woman? From her birth to the complex hormonal and emotional shifts of adolescence, motherhood, menopause and beyond, a womans body undergoes a series of changes that are often misunderstood, overlooked or reduced to isolated medical conversations. I Am Woman a book by family physician and preconception consultant Dr Mahalakshmi Sivaraman, steps in as a smart guide to womans lifelong wellness. Published after two years of writing and research, the book was launched on Friday at MOP Vaishnav College for Women by Pegasus, the colleges student-led book club. The event was graced by notable medical professionals, including Dr Ranjini Manian, founder of Global Adjustments and founder chair of Champion Woman, Dr Sujatha Mohan, executive medical director at Rajan Eye Care Hospital and president of Tamil Nadu Ophthalmic Association, and Dr S Hemalatha, the authors mother and retired district project coordinator of the Greater Chennai Corporation. Dr Mohan Rajan, chairman and managing director of Rajan Eye Care, also joined the occasion. The proceedings began with a welcome address by Principal Archna Prasad, who set the tone for an afternoon dedicated to womens wellness. TNIE was the media partner. Speaking about the books design and accessibility, Dr Ranjini, the guest of honour, highlighted its easy-to-use format filled with tables, charts and quick illustrations. She noted that the three icons medical facts, warning signs, and practical tips make it a convenient guide even for those short on time. Its a wonderful book because you can just get bite-sized nugget information if thats all you have the time to do, she said. Dr Sujatha, who penned the foreword, echoed the authors effort of including researched references and not only focusing on personal experiences. Taking the stage, Dr Mahalakshmi spoke about her motivation behind writing the book and the necessity of reliable health information for women. Womens health is not a single chapter; it is a journey. One that begins before birth and continues through every age and stage of her life. She explained that the book explores topics ranging from menstrual health and reproductive care to mental well-being, post-menopausal challenges and ageing. It also addresses issues such as nutrition, body image, lifestyle habits, and the growing influence of unverified information on social media. In an era where contradictory health trends circulate rapidly online, she hopes the book will serve as an authentic and dependable reference. The launch closed on a note by the author, Stay committed towards your health, listen to your body and make conscious choices. Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.
