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.

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..
