Poor Visibility and Parking Issues Increase Accidents Near Manakula Vinayagar Temple Junction

The junction connecting Law De Lauriston Street and Gingee Salai near Manakula Vinayagar Temple is increasingly hazardous due to poor visibility caused by large transformers placed beside the Grand Canal and haphazard parking, especially on weekends. These obstructions limit motorists' views of oncoming traffic, contributing to several recent accidents, including one where two youths were injured by a speeding bus. Injured individuals are receiving treatment at the Indira Gandhi Government General Hospital and Research Institute.
