Tamil Nadu Government Reviews Pattinapakkam Secretariat Project Amid Opposition
The Tamil Nadu government has not finalized plans to build a new Secretariat and Legislative Assembly complex at Pattinapakkam, Chennai, amid opposition from fishermen, political parties, and environmentalists. Minister Aadhav Arjuna stated only a Government Order has been passed, with a Detailed Project Report pending before a final decision. Union Minister L. Murugan and CPI(M) leaders urged the government to drop the project, citing concerns over fishermen's livelihoods and local congestion. The government has yet to respond to these calls or propose alternative sites.
