Pvt firms to handle upkeep of Marina, four other beaches

The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) is all set to privatize the cleaning and maintenance of five beaches, including the Marina and the Elliot's, at a cost of ₹11.64 crore for a contract period of one year. Maintenance of Srinivasapuram, Thiruvanmiyur and New beaches are also to be privatised.

The Marina, which spans 250 acres, is one of the most visited beaches in Chennai, collecting an average waste of around 5.5 to 7 tonnes every day.

Speaking to TNIE, a senior GCC official said while the zones in which these five beaches are located are covered by Urbaser Sumeet, its scope of work extends only up to the service road and does not include the beach.
