Posted on: 16/Sep/2015 9:54:30 AM
At a time when the main roads and lanes are filled with cars, the Chennai Corporation is to host the city�s first car free Sunday program on October 4. Car free Sundays, a concept inspired from the Western world, where streets are closed for vehicular traffic for a few hours on Sunday morning and instead pedestrian activity is encouraged, is all set to happen in Chennai under the �Namma Chennai Namakke� banner. The location for the car free Sunday has been fixed as Eliot�s Beach in Besant Nagar and will include not just the promenade but a few interior streets as well. The programme will be held between 6 and 9 in the morning.
