Road to private property built on lakes near Vandalur under Namakku Naame scheme
CHENNAI: While hundreds of vital village roads remain neglected as muddy, pothole-ridden tracks, a 30-foot-wide bituminous road has been laid along the ecologically sensitive shorelines of the Periya Eri and Chitteri lakes in Unamancheri village near Vandalur in Chengalpattu district.
The road — built on land officially classified both as a water body and reserve forest — provides access to a film producer’s 300-acre property, allegedly proposed to be developed into a film city.
