Mogappair
Mogappair (also known as Dr. J. J. Nagar) is a residential neighborhood in north-western Chennai, India. It is located west of the Jawaharlal Nehru Road (Inner Ring Road) and is part of the Ambattur zone (7) of the Greater Chennai Corporation. There are industrial estates to the north and west, namely, Padi and Ambattur. Mogappair is located 3 km from Anna Nagar, 8 km from Avadi and 5 km from Ambattur.
The abundance of highly reputed schools, specialized hospitals and the recent influx of IT offices in the industrial estates in and around it have catapulted Mogappair into a strategic location for business.
The Mangal Lake in the North Western part of Mogappair is the largest park in this region. A few decades ago, Mogappair was a small village, a part of which is still intact in the south-western part of Mogappair. Mogappair is divided into two parts, namely, Mogappair East and Mogappair West.
There was a lake called Mugapeeri, from which the name of the locality was derived. After persistent mispronunciation, the name 'evolved' to its present form (Mogappair). Childless couples visit the temple in the locality and offer their prayers, and it is said that their wishes come true after the visit.The word for people in Tamil is "Makkal" and the fortune to possess anything is described by the word - "Peru". Hence, this place was originally called "Makkal-Peru" meaning "Fortune of begetting children". This name has later undergone linguistic modification to the modern-day name "Mogappair". Till date, many couple visit "Shri Santhana Srinivasa Perumal, temple" located in the west of Mogappair praying to be blessed with progeny.
Mogappair in the beginning used to be a forest during the British era. A river used to flow in between the area now called as Eri scheme.
Mogappair is located on SH112 highway between Ambattur and Anna Nagar. Mogappair East and Mogappair West are twin localities which share and complement much of their resources and infrastructures alike. It is well connected by road & rail links. Located close to Ambattur, all west and east bound trains can be boarded from Ambattur, Pattaravakkam and Korattur. Long-distance bus & Indian Railways reservation counters are available in CMBT which is 3 km from Mogappair and Chennai International Airport is around 16 km from here. The nearest Metro Rail Stations are located in Thirumangalam and Koyambedu.
The Chennai bypass road NH4 joins from SH-112 near Ambattur and is Southbound towards Maduravoyal and Perungalathur. An underpass to access NH-4 from Ambattur is open for traffic on SH-112 between Nolambur and Ayappakkam.
Mogappair East was the first to be inhabited followed by Mogappair West and Nolambur.
