Chennai ward names info

[rajesh]

Hi,

Does anyone have names for Chennai zones and wards?

Info from the Chennai website has Roman numerals for zones and numbers for wards:
http://www.chennaicorporation.gov.in/images/MAP_ZONE_WARD.jpg

Sites like:

http://www.livechennai.com/List-of-Chennai-Corporation-Wards.asp

offer names which are hard to map to numbers as there is not a one-to-one correlation.

Transparent Chennai appears to use numbers too.

I am looking for a list of names that maps perfectly to the Chennai gov't's numbers.

Thanks,

-rajesh

These still miss out the ward names. They have zone names though.

[Vaishnavi Jayakumar]

After the expansion GCC has dispensed with ward/div names, in favour of only numbers. Zone names are there of course.

Asked at the Chennai Corporation specifically regarding this so this is legit.

Already tried cross referencing old to new with no success. 

This is all there is.

ZONE NAME ZONE DIVISIONS

THIRUVOTTRIYUR (Zone 1) Div / wards 1-14 14

MANALI (Zone 2) Div / wards 15-22 7

MADHAVARAM (Zone 3) Div / wards 22 - 33 12

TONDIARPET (Zone 4) Div / wards 34 - 48 15

ROYAPURAM (Zone 5) Div / wards 49 - 63 15

THIRU-VI-KA-NAGAR (Zone 6) Div / wards 64-78 15

Ambattur (Zone 7) Div / wards 79-93 15

Thank you all!

I found it interesting that Roman numerals still find a use. We could have used Tamil script or even Devanagari or even English letters but GCC used Roman, which are pronounced the same way as English numbers.

Shanti,

It's less policy and more pre-existing habits and a recurring momentary compulsion to just do it like it was the last time to avoid trouble. The people in charge of doing the work do not have the power to take a call on how to name it, etc.

i want to road layer for all india

[Rajesvari Parasa]

Hi,

Was this resolved? 

Wanted help with the same issue of ward number + ward name mapping + Zones of Chennai Corporation and ran into the same bottlenecks. 

I found this official note on the Chennai Corporation website: https://chennaicorporation.gov.in/images/ward_details.pdf 

This seems to list the 200 wards and details on each ward. Now, I can't read Tamil script, and can't find a version of this in english. Can anyone who can read the script here go through this and tell if it has both ward names + ward numbers? Thanks.

Regards, 

Rajesvari
