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 thus that the few rare lucid well-disposed people who have had to struggle on the earth find themselves at certain hours of the day or night in the depth of certain authentic and waking nightmare states, surrounded by the formidable suction, the formidable tentacular oppression of a kind of civic magic which will soon be seen appearing openly in social behavior.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
