Ambattur constituency in Tiruvallur district, Tamil Nadu, has seen significant changes over the past decades, but residents now report stalled growth and inadequate infrastructure. With an electorate of over 3.3 lakh voters, local residents are voicing their concerns ahead of the elections. They demand essential services like a government hospital and a boys' school, as current facilities require residents to travel long distances during emergencies. Traffic congestion is another pressing issue, with calls for the widening of the Chennai – Tiruttani (CTH) Road to alleviate daily bottlenecks. Additionally, pollution in Korattur lake has become a health concern, with untreated sewage inflows prompting complaints to the National Green Tribunal.
