Adyar Zone (Zone 13), Chennai: Wards 168 to 180, Office and Constituencies

Zone 13 runs along the south bank of the Adyar river and down towards the sea: Kotturpuram and the Saidapet side in the west, Kasturba Nagar and Besant Nagar in the middle, and Taramani, Odaikuppam and Thiruvanmiyur to the south. Its 13 wards are split across three assembly constituencies, Saidapet, Mylapore and Velachery, which is why neighbours a few streets apart can have different MLAs.

Everything below comes from Greater Chennai Corporation’s own records, checked on 25 September 2026: the ward maps from the 2018 delimitation (Tamil Nadu Government Gazette No. 408, 14 December 2018), the councillor directory and the zonal office list.

The locality column lists names printed on each ward’s official map, not every street in the ward. If you’re not sure which ward your street is in, open the ward map on GCC’s delimited ward page and look for it.

Ward 169’s councillor, M. Magesh Kumaar, is also the Deputy Mayor of Chennai. Every councillor has an official email in the form [email protected], using the three-digit ward number.
