Activists alleged that the Greater Chennai Corporation’s tender for a pathway for persons with disabilities at Marina beach is incomplete. Vaishnavi Jayakumar, a member of the Disability Rights Alliance, stated that the current tender omits essential specifications, including detailed drawings for decks, wood seasoning, joinery, and signage. She also noted the tender fails to require a seven-year maintenance contract from the same contractor.
