Rename of OMR
Chennai, Aug 23 In a clear bid to keep the Congress high command happy, the Tamil Nadu government Friday issued an official notification to rename the Old Mahabalipuram Road after former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.A press statement said Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi had accepted a request from state Congress president M. Krishnasamy to rename the road Rajiv Gandhi Road.The OMR, going from south Chennai up to Pondicherry, has become a real estate hotspot and for 35 km it has become an IT industry hub, lined by engineering colleges and companies like Infosys, Cognizant and dozens of others.
Give ur views about this act.

Well I liked the old name. OMR is really better than Rajiv Gandhi Salai. The road though is still dreadful. Template is amazing da.

the stretch upto SRP tools is looking realy classy..of International standards,really..the only issue is that they’re taking forever to complete the renovations for the entire stretch of the 22kms…

The change of Government made all these non-sense. The incompleteness of the road spoils the IT highway.

Stop calling it Rajiv Gandhi road or whatever. It’s the OMR and the OMR it shall be. Forever.
