Tamil Nadu election 2026: Lack of civic amenities irks Thiruporur constituency residents as urbanisation takes toll

Ragu It has a sizeable coastal belt stretching over 30 km, a large expanse of reserved forest areas, a few industrial parks, several well-known higher education institutions, and a substantial stretch of agricultural land spread over two revenue blocks. Yet, nearly half of its electorate reside along a 30-km stretch of highly urbanised ‘vertical villages’. The Thiruporur Assembly constituency — situated south of Chennai on the iconic IT Corridor along the Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) — in Chengalpattu district, is indeed a study in dichotomy. The expansion of Chennai’s IT Corridor over the past couple of decades has resulted in the mushrooming of large multi-storeyed apartments, extending well into the villages on either side of the road.

Lucknow-Kanpur in 30 minutes? New 63-km expressway likely to open next month, but high toll a sore point

4 min readApr 17, 2026 10:15 PM IST The long-awaited 63-km-long Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway is nearing completion and is likely to be inaugurated next month, promising a significant reduction in travel time between the two cities — from 1.5-3 hours to just 30 minutes, officials said. The six-lane project will benefit commuters who often face traffic snarls during peak hours on the existing routes, officials added. The distance between Lucknow and Kanpur is around 90 km. The proposed toll for the expressway, however, has raised eyebrows. For cars, jeeps, and vans (light motor vehicles), a trip from Lucknow to Kanpur is expected to cost Rs 275. While a return journey within 24 hours will cost Rs 415. Frequent users opting for a monthly pass (50 single trips) would need to pay Rs 9,220. (see box) Sources said at present, it costs Rs 95 for a one-way trip between the two cities through NH-27. But once the new expressway becomes operational, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is considering hiking the existing toll on NH-27 as …
