Residents of Ram Nagar at Madipakkam took to the roads on Sunday morning, protesting against the revenue department delaying in removing the encroachment of government land off Bazaar Main Road despite an eviction notice. Residents said the encroachment forces them to take a longer route to schools on Velachery MRTS Road.
On Sunday morning, a group of residents blocked the traffic on Bazaar Main Road holding placards to attract attention of the authorities. Police reached the scene and pacified them after which they dispersed.
In one of the placards, the residents also had the notice from the revenue inspector of Pallikaranai, dated January 23, 2020 which confirms the allegations of the locals.
“Now, it is going to be about two years since the notice. We want the authorities to expedite action,” said resident people’s.
