Pushpa Nagar Main Road is the beast of burden, debris from works not connected with the road being offloaded on it — consistently. The role of a debris transit point seems to have been thrust upon this road. Debris sits on the road for weeks, and is then cleared to make way for fresh debris. Pushpa Nagar Main Road is significant in terms of local connectivity. It is an access route to Mahalingapuram Main Road, around which two government schools, a college and a church are located. Pushpa Nagar Main Road is also in the picture where the other half of Nungambakkm is concerned, the one including Tank Bund Road and Valluvar Kottam Main Road.

At a time when Greater Chennai Corporation has solidified norms pertaining to management and disposal of construction & demolition (C&D) waste by earmarking designated spots, those that would not inconvenience movement of general public, and slapping a hefty fine on entities violating C&D waste management rules (in effect from April 2025), the picture presented by Pushpa Nagar Main Road comes across as odd, even anomalous.

A busy road obviously cannot be a designated spot for dumping C&D waste.
