PMK Warns Tamil Nadu Secretariat Plan at Pallavan Illam May Cause Traffic Issues
PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss warned that Tamil Nadu's plan to build a new Secretariat at Pallavan Illam on Anna Salai could cause significant traffic congestion. He highlighted that the 13.22-acre site is smaller than previous locations and poses environmental and flood risks due to its proximity to the Cooum River and surrounding infrastructure. While supporting a new Secretariat, Ramadoss advocated for a larger integrated administrative city on Chennai's outskirts to ensure sustainable growth and future expansion.
