Residents allege that work was done despite orders to stop
The Greater Chennai Corporation has given an undertaking to the Southern Bench of the National Green Tribunal that it will not continue work on the stormwater drains (SWDs) along the East Coast Road (ECR) till further orders.
The Corporation made the submission on Monday, after the lawyer for the residents’ welfare associations, who are against the implementation of the project, told the NGT that despite a stop-work order, construction activity was still under way. Former Advocate-General A.L. Somayaji, who appeared for the Corporation, told the Tribunal that no further construction had been carried out.
