No water, falling plaster at KP Park flats rob Egmore families of sleep

New block, old problems

Most of the 59 families evacuated from pavements near Egmore railway station and resettled at the newly built tenements at KP Park on tuesday had a sleepless night.

This is because plaster from the newly constructed houses has been chipping, there was absolutely no water and broken alcohol bottles were found inside a few homes.

Over the last one month, 308 families from Villivakkam, Arumbakkam and Egmore have been accommodated at the new block in KP Park, Pulianthope.

While the block looks really good from outside with brightly painted walls and pathways, the interiors paint a different picture. Paint and cement chip off as residents hit the wall with bare hands. Water is stagnated in the corridors and there is an unbearable stench.
