Minister reviews layout for Chithamanur industrial plot

Chennai:
Housing and Urban Development Minister R Vaithilingam on Friday reviewed the 32.26 acres layout for Chithamanur Industrial plot in Marimalai Nagar along with senior officials.

The layout, which is part of the Marimalai Nagar New Town scheme, is expected to be completed by the end of June.

The minister also urged the Kanchipuram Collector, who accompanied him during his visit to the site, to remove the encroachments from the land earmarked for the New Town scheme.

CMDA is struggling to get back the land to an extent of 178.87 acres, which was acquired to develop satellite town at Marimalai Nagar to regulate population growth of city as suggested by the First Master Plan.

He said that once the encroachments are removed, the land should be used for residential and commercial plots besides building schools and hospitals. The government decided to take up the development of New Town at Maraimalai Nagar near Chengalpet on 1972 and acquired 1,852 acres of land in nine villages of Potheri, Katankulathur, Kilakaranai, Ninnakkarai, Chithamanur, Gudalur, Sengundram, Thirukatchur and Peramanu.
