₹1.5 lakh demanded from the allottees as their share of construction cost
A section of people, led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist), staged a demonstration at the Kesava Pillai Park (K.P. Park) in Pulianthope on Friday against Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board’s demand of ₹1.5 lakh from families for allotment of houses. These families were earlier residing at the TNSCB settlements at the same spot. They were told to vacate in 2018 as TNSCB wanted to demolish and build new tenements. G. Selva, secretary, Chennai Central district, CPI (M), said while the tenements were ready to be allotted to 864 families, the allottees were shocked when they were told to pay ₹1.5 lakh as their share.More Related News
