Alandur

Alandur extends across a developed area at 12 meters elevation, functioning as a key residential and commercial district within the Chennai metropolitan region.

The district gained political significance in 1967 when M.G. Ramachandran, who later became Tamil Nadu's chief minister, secured his first legislative election victory.

The religious composition of Alandur reflects Indian diversity with 84 percent Hindu residents, while Muslims and Christians constitute about 15 percent of the population.

The Alandur metro station connects two major transit lines of Chennai, offering direct access to the airport and central areas through elevated railway platforms.

The district maintains a 200-year-old market, known as MGR Market, which continues to serve as the primary commercial center for local residents.
