TNHB prepares layout for Rs 2,160 cr Thirumazhisai Township Project

First phase to have 9,700 residential flats

Chennai:

The phase-I scheme of proposed Rs 2,160 crore satellite township at
Thirumazhisai in Thiruvallur district got a boost as Tamil Nadu
Housing Board has started preparing conceptual layout for 138 acres
with 9700 residential flats.

The project, which was announced in 2011 failed to get started
after officials complained of land acquisition and technical glitches
in the Government Order issued on March 2012.

TNHB sources said that action has been taken for preparing conceptual
layout for the phase I satellite township project in Kuthumbakkam with
infrastructural facilities.

Sources also said the tender for filling the low lying area and
construction of retaining wall has been received and it will be placed
before the board meeting to be held on Wednesday for acceptance.

Sources also said that the proposal for seeking modification of the
Government Order to implement the proposed scheme in phased manner
under self-finance scheme instead of public private partnership, is
under scrutiny by the government.

Meanwhile, Anna University has carried out soil test for preparing
structural design for the proposed elevated corridor from National
Highway (NH4) linking the project. The estimate for the proposed
elevated corridor from NH4 is under process, TNHB sources said.

It is learnt that there are 35 writ petitions seeking reconveyance of
land and 14 writ petitions challenging land acquisitions are pending
before the court. Sources said a petition has already been filed
before the National Green Tribunal southern bench to not to disturb
the water course in the existing 12.65 acres of government land which
is alienated to TNHB for forming approach road. The case has been
posted to November 26, 2014.
