Commuters said that it has remained dark in the night for more than six months and no steps were taken by the officials to repair the lights even after many requests.

“The flyover is busy at all times with many vehicles plying on it. I wait for my office cab on this flyover every day. The lack of light makes me feel insecure while waiting here,” said Dinesh Kumar from Tambaram.

Sources said that there are confusions in the jurisdiction between the Tambaram Municipality and the Chitlapakam town panchayat on who would maintain the flyover.

While multiple attempts to reach the Tambaram municipality officials went unanswered, Chitlapakam Town panchayat Executive Officer R Ganesan said, “We are working on the issue and all the lights will get replaced soon.”
