Tamil Nadu Plans New Assembly-Secretariat Complex at Pattinapakkam Amid Opposition
The Tamil Nadu government has approved initiating the construction of a new integrated Assembly-Secretariat complex at Pattinapakkam, Chennai, spanning over 25 acres with modern facilities and an estimated cost of Rs 1,200 crore. The project aims to meet administrative needs for the next century. While the government highlights the site's suitability, PMK chief Anbumani Ramadoss opposes the location, citing traffic concerns and space limitations, and advocates for a larger administrative city outside Chennai. The site selection follows a century-long search for a new complex.
