The Pedestrian Plaza project in Pondy Bazaar, under the Chennai Smart City Initiative aimed to create pedestrian-friendly spaces by relocating street vendors to a dedicated complex. CAG’s study, surveying 350 customers and 170 vendors, found that 94% of vendors reported changes in their income post-relocation, with 64% experiencing an increase. Among customers, 71% viewed the relocation positively, while 29% indicated they missed the street shopping experience.
CAG conducted a study on helmet usage among children in Chennai. Despite the majority of the 520 parents surveyed being aware of the rule requiring children to wear ISI-certified helmets when travelling on two-wheelers, the actual helmet usage rate among children was significantly low, at just 25%.
