The stop near General Hospital(the one on the left side the road from Collector’s CampOffice) is in a pathetic condition and remains unusable by general public.

The stop is too short to accommodate everyone during the peak hours more disturbingly its in a unhygienic state.

People wait for buses in hot sun for the above stated two reasons.

My opinion is that the present structure can be completely demolished (as an move to extend it lengthwise) and the resontruction project can be given to Welfare Organisations or private companies/product or bussiness establisments whom after spending for construction works can benefit from the advertisement displayed there.

The most anticipated and awaited work of laying a road partitioner in Hospital has started.

Please read the article Hospital road needs road partitioner posted in this blog on 16th March.

Let us wait and see whether its laid upto Semandalam or upto Chavadi.

SIDCO industrial estate is in very bad condition.It lacks even the basic necessities.It resembles more of a rain forest than of an industrial estate.It does not even have a proper road.Garbages remain uncleared.It seems there is no enough space here for the growing needs of the industries.

Mangrove Action Project(MAP) is an intresting project supported by Earth Island Institute.MAP seeks to protect mangrove forests worldwide from threats posed by shrimp aquaculture and other forms of unsustainable development, while promoting the rights of local communities to sustainably manage their coastal resources.

We the people of Cuddalore can take part in this project and develope a thick mangrove belt along the coastline which apart from protecting us from natural calamities it may become a home thousands of bird varieties.This may convert Cuddalore a tourism hub.

Sahara Pariwar had promised to build houses for the tsunami affected people in Cuddalore.To my knowledge no such work has begun.Read Financial Express dated Janaury 20 for more details.Or please use this link.

I felt proud and happy when I saw Cuddalore listed among 217 other Indian towns for an housing project(biggest ever of its sort in India) proposed by Sahara Parivar named SaharaHousings.

But that was years back.Now Cuddalore is removed from the project.I guess two reasons behind the removal

1.Among many construction gaints Nagarjuna Constructions is also a constructing agent for this project.Cuddalore would have been added in the list because Nagarjuna Oil Corporation was proposed near Cuddalore.As the refinery prososal went down they must have given up the construction project also.

2.Pondicherry is also in their list.So because of the cheap land and other tax consessions in UT they must have decided to make constructions at midway between these two towns.(As the now proposed site for pondicherry is 10 km south of Pondicherry)

As Semandalam busstop is exactly at the stop point of the signal its experiences many pratical problems.Here I give you the two worst cases

*when the buses stop to take passengers while the green signal is onn other vehicles find it difficult to pass through the road.(This is a general case for vehicles travelling towards and outwards Cuddalore)

*when the bus driver finds that green light is about to change he does not stop at the busstop keeps driving the bus behind the signal in which case passengers have to run to the place where the bus stops.(This is a general case for vehicles travelling towards and outwards Cuddalore)
