CHENNAI: A division bench of the Madras High Court has directed the Tahsildars of Perambur and Ayanavaram to survey Paper Mills Road at Perambur and find out encroachments made on either side of the road margin and submit a report to the court.
A bench of Justices T S Sivagnanam and V Bhavani Subbaroyan gave the directive while passing further interim orders on a contempt application arising out of a PIL petition from L D William Moses of Sembium-Thiru-vi-ka Nagar, recently.
According to advocate T S Rajmohan, Paper Mills Road originally was 100 feet wide. About 10 schools, various religious places and commercial organisations are situated on the road. Over the years, the road was reduced to 40 feet due to rampant encroachments, severely affecting flow of vehicles and pedestrians, he said.
