Storeyed tenements of TNUHDB at Rajakoor lacks basic facilities

MADURAI: Crumbling walls, overgrown bushes and stagnant water; elements that are characteristic not just to abandoned houses, but also to the multi-storeyed residential apartments constructed by the Tamil Nadu Urban Housing Development Board (TNUHDB) at Rajakoor near Madurai.

With a lack of adequate facilities and poor infrastructure, there are few takers for these flats. In the first phase, 1,566 flats were built nearly a decade ago under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) for Rs 47.75 crore.
