What the government order does
Government Order G.O.(Ms)No.62 dated 28 April 2022, issued by the Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MA2) Department, authorises two Chennai water and sewer infrastructure projects under Singara Chennai 2.0.
The Neelankarai water supply component had previously received administrative sanction as part of a five town water supply scheme. The Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board could not take it up because suitable land was unavailable. The revised project was later approved subject to the conditions in the appraisal report.
