New site for Chennai airport expansion
Chennai, Dec 7: The Tamil Nadu government is considering a new site, a few kilometres away from the Chennai airport, for expansion of the airport, Chief Minister M Karunanidhi told the State Assembly yesterday.
Replying to CPI floor leader V Sivapunniyam, who said thousands of people near the Chennai airport would be displaced if the present plans for the airport expansion was carried out, Karunanidhi said the government had not finalised any such plan.
Some people would be affected if a good measure was done for the public. However, in this case, the government was considering a new site, a few kilometres away from the airport, so that many people would not be affected.
Raising the issue, Sivapunniyam said thousands of people would lose their houses and several buildings including temples and churches should have to be demolished, if the airport was expanded.(Our Correspondent)
