I went to the Nageswara Rao Park at LUZ recently with my friend and was very much dismayed to see the outstretches of the park have not been properly maintained &pained
over the conditions prevailing in the surroundings there.Park inside is kept very neatly thanks to the TVS Gorup Sundaram Finance if I am right.But the entire outstretch of the historic Park is full of untidy and nauseating atmosphere.This beautiful park is one of the BEST in Madras@Chennai I had the fortune of witnessing many VIPs walking along the park and ALL used to be friendly and affectionate.One of the memorable meetings I happened to see was a discussion between the two legendary late Carnatic greats Madurai Mani Iyer and very handsome GNB on many occasions.In fact it was a perfect MEET POINT for many in the Mylapore Area.We appeal to the authorities to clear the surroundings and keep the park Neat and maintain the same regularly for the benefit of us.We hope the officials to ACT now!
