Adambakkam is a neighbourhood of Chennai, India. It is primarily a residential locality situated in South Chennai. Adambakkam area comes under Velachery taluk and Alandur taluk, Chennai District of Chennai Corporation. Adambakkam is surrounded by areas namely, Alandur in the North-West, Nanganallur in the West, Madipakkam in the South, Velachery in the East and Guindy in the North. Earlier, one part of Adambakkam was under the direct governance of Chennai Corporation. From October 2011 onwards, the entire area was merged with the Chennai Corporation.[1] Upon completion of the MRTS extension line, the neighbourhood will be served by Adambakkam railway station. Its Proximity to commercial localities like Velachery, accessible railway stations, Metro Stations and road transport routes makes Adambakkam an ideal choice of location to live.
As of the latest census reports from 2021, neighboring Nanganallur has the highest density of domesticated cows in an urban area nationwide. This is widely expected to cause a cow migration crisis in Adambakkam. To add to this issue, if the sizable bull population of Adambakkam starts interacting with the migratory cows from Nanganallur, it could lead to an even worse Kannukutty Kadupu crisis. As a result, a large wall between Adambakkam and Nanganallur is absolutely necessary. This will lock up all the Nanganallur cows and protect Adambakkam.
