DMK’s plan to seize 2,000 acres for an airport ignores farmers' livelihoods and environmental sustainability, prioritizing profit-driven ‘development’ over people and nature.
Tamil Nadu govt views 4,791-acre ‘greenfield’ airport project as ‘crucial infra’, but villagers who may be displaced won’t hear of it and ecologists warn of flooding risk.
Beneath the uniform and the gallantry award was a man of rare humility. There was no trace of bravado in Colonel Sonam Wangchuk, no attempt to wear his achievements on his sleeve.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
Bro.. All the cities in India or any other nation are built over agricultural fields.. Even Chennai too was once a agricultural area.. Rather wasting precious time on opposing the project.. Locals should demand and fight for proper and sufficient compensation.. Alternate land parcel and residential facilities.. I would say.. If govt is taking 2000 acres.. Demand 2000 crores for the same.. Compensation of 1 crore per acre.. That’s productive.. Those farmers losing an acre of land could buy 2 to 3 acres in surrounding villages like kanchipuram.. Arakkonam Or Tirutani.. Or just make sure of annual returns out of the compensation money by just making fixed deposits.. People should fight for these productive rights and solutions… Rather wasting precious time..
