Mr. Sreenath Heragu has captured the meeting transactions very nicely and accurately. K. Chandrasekars presentation was excellent and well delivered power-point presentation. Heragu’s plan to fine tune it is highly welcome. We could gather that there was a keen interest in the community of the KR Puram area in the project. The discussions after the presentation were very interesting showing the enthusiasm of the community in this project. My main observation was that the real need of the hour was to build not only the road infrastructure but also to educate the general public and the drivers of the busses etc to make use of the same fully and properly. We should have a campaign planed. “The project emphasis should be not only on putting the Infrastructure correctly in place but also to educate / enforce its correct usage.” I had to high light the suggestion made by ASJ on this issue. We should have both the Zebra / Staggered crossings with the traffic lights along with the pedestrian under pass. It was brought to the notice of all participants, with a clarification that the surface crossing is for disabled and senior citizes only while the underpass is for able bodied.

All the best Mr Kannan
