Chennai’s Tambaram City Municipal Corporation Council has approved a resolution to rename the Velachery–Tambaram corridor. The stretch, described by outlets as nearly 15 km to around 16 km, links East Tambaram with Velachery. It will be renamed “Major Mukund Varadharajan Road,” honoring Major Mukund Varadharajan, an Indian Army officer who is posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra for his sacrifice. Times of India reports that the decision is being taken to commemorate his valor and contribution, and that the Tambaram Corporation Council is the body approving the tribute. NDTV similarly states that the municipal council passes the resolution to rename the nearly 15-km stretch connecting East Tambaram and Velachery. Both reports frame the move as an official local government recognition of the Ashoka Chakra awardee. No timeline for implementation is mentioned in the provided accounts, nor is any details given on whether signage and official records are updated immediately.
