Illegal road laid in turtle nesting area on Chennai beach to aid unauthorised constructions?

CHENNAI: In blatant disregard of coastal regulation laws, an illegal road has been laid by unidentified persons in the turtle nesting area on Injambakkam beach allegedly to aid construction in prohibited coastal stretches.

Several tonnes of construction debris were dumped on the beach. The road was reportedly laid in the last week of September. The site falls in zone 15 of the Chennai corporation, which is already under the scanner of the Madras High Court for several unauthorised building constructions in violation of Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) norms.
