Chennai Poll Canvas, Kancheepuram | Balancing heritage, industry & civic gaps

In this episode, we look at Kancheepuram district — a region that blends cultural heritage, agriculture, and rapid industrial growth. From the temple town of Kancheepuram facing traffic congestion and civic challenges, to infrastructure gaps in Alandur, the district reflects the pressures of urban expansion. In rural belts like Uthiramerur, farmers highlight issues such as unfair trade practices and lack of storage facilities, while in industrial hubs like Sriperumbudur, infrastructure struggles to keep pace with rapid growth. Across the district, residents point to common concerns — traffic congestion, inadequate drainage, civic infrastructure gaps, and the need for better planning. As Kancheepuram continues to evolve, the challenge remains: how to balance tradition, growth, and everyday living.
