Chennai's Parandur Airport Project Scrapped, Vijay Backs Local Protesters
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay has announced that the proposed Parandur greenfield airport project will be dropped, saying he stands with the protesting residents. The move fulfils a key poll promise and comes after sustained opposition from locals over the proposed site. The decision has triggered a political clash with the DMK, which has questioned the move and highlighted the airport's importance to Tamil Nadu's investment and economic growth.
