Chennai Port Trust Centenary Building

The Chennai Port Trust Centenary Building is a striking 12-story administrative hub located in Chennai, India, opposite the Reserve Bank of India at Fort Glacis. Notably, it houses a cyclone detection radar, situated in a distinctive football-like structure atop the building, which serves as a key landmark in the harbor area. This radar, operational since 2002, plays a crucial role in monitoring weather systems, providing vital data for aviation and early warnings for cyclones in the Bay of Bengal. The building is easily accessible, with nearby railway stations and offers insights into the region's meteorological activities, making it an interesting site for both tourists and researchers alike.
