Chennai population set to cross 1cr!

Posted on: 11/Jul/2011 12:11:47 AM
The recent report from planning commission says that Chennai is one of the few cities in the world with more than 10 million population in about 10 years.

Being ranked the fifth most populated city in India, the process of overcrowding and unsustainable mass of population has already done much harm to the city.

The challenge of Chennai would be to sustain progress in development of physical infrastructure and social development in tandem with economic growth, says the report.

The need of the hour is to educate people on the consequences of a constantly increasing population, say experts in the report.
