Tamil Nadu Approves New Assembly-Secretariat Complex at Pattinapakkam Amid Opposition
The Tamil Nadu government has approved the construction of a new integrated Legislative Assembly and Secretariat complex at Pattinapakkam, Chennai, on a 25.55-acre site near Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay's residence. The project, estimated at Rs 1,200 crore, aims to meet administrative needs for the next century with modern facilities. However, PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss opposes the location, citing traffic congestion and limited space, and advocates for a larger administrative city outside Chennai.
