Other North Chennai works
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority also inspected the ornamental fish trading centre under construction at Sivashakthi Colony, Villivakkam. The statement describes 138 shops on 20 acres at a cost of about Rs 54 crore.
A 40 year old library at United India Nagar, Ayanavaram, was inspected for improvement. Twelve libraries in Harbour, Villivakkam, Egmore, Thiru Vi Ka Nagar, Royapuram, R. K. Nagar and Perambur are proposed for upgrading with internet enabled study areas, coworking facilities and conference halls.
Relevance to property owners and buyers
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority statement is a progress update rather than a land title or planning approval document. It mentions wider proposals to expand roads, remove road encroachments and relocate affected occupants, but provides no survey numbers, property schedule or details identifying individual plots. Owners and buyers therefore cannot use the statement alone to determine whether a particular property is included in any project.
