Residents of Lakshmi Nagar in Gerugambakkam have urged Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi to use good offices to persuade the Union government to save their habitat from getting wiped out of revenue records.
Talking to reporters here on Monday, after registering their objection against acquisition of land for the Chennai airport expansion project, they said the Chief Minister might not have been properly briefed about their pathetic situation.
The Chief Minister had decided to shelve the land acquisition project with respect to Kaul Bazzar, Pozhichallur and other areas, in deference to the wishes of the residents of those areas.
“We believe that he will definitely heed our plea to convince the Union government to drop the Chennai airport expansion project and concentrate on setting up greenfield airport near Sriperumbudur”, they added.
Dhanam and Faridha, residents of the area, said they were haunted by fears about loss of their lands owing to the project.
