Robinson Park, officially known as Arignar Anna Park, located in Royapuram, Chennai, has been in disarray for nearly four months due to ongoing stormwater drain construction. The entrance on Cemetery Road is blocked, leaving visitors frustrated and at risk due to open pits filled with sewage water, which have become breeding grounds for mosquitoes. The dangerous conditions are exacerbated by missing barricades and exposed rods that pose a risk to pedestrians. The park, historically significant as the site where former chief minister C. N. Annadurai announced the launch of the DMK party, is frequently visited by relatives of patients from the nearby RSRM Hospital, who now struggle to find a place to rest. Although a side entrance has been made available, it is difficult to access due to the absence of pavements and heavy congestion from MTC buses. Local residents, including regular park-goers like R. Avinash, have expressed their concerns over the lack of work progress, with officials indicating that the stormwater drain work is under the jurisdiction of the SWD department. Deputy mayor Mahesh Kumar has called for the work to be expedited.
