Civic Amenities
Urapakkam is supported by a fully functional electricity board and a village panchayat office. It has two sub post offices - one in east and the other is in west. Despite enormous growth, some parts of Urapakkam lacks basic civic amenities such as water and good roads. Power cut has become a major issue at Urapakkam for the past 1 year. Sometimes it may extend up to 8 hours a day since these areas fall just outside the CMA limit which ends at Vandalur. Recently, women residents staged a protest outside the bill payment centre of TANGEDCO in Urapakkam.

Famous quotes containing the word civic:
“It is hereby earnestly proposed that the USA would be much better off if that big, sprawling, incoherent, shapeless, slobbering civic idiot in the family of American communities, the City of Los Angeles, could be declared incompetent and placed in charge of a guardian like any individual mental defective.”
—Westbrook Pegler (1894–1969)
