These relocated families received 400sqft homes free of cost, along with financial aid and livelihood support. The resettlement was carried out by TNUHDB.
Of the 9,539 families identified for relocation, 6,253 have already been resettled, while construction of houses is underway for the remaining 3,286 families. Between May 20 and 27, as many as 916 families from Thaimugambigai Nagar, Shanthi Nagar, MGR Nagar, and Quiad-e-Millath Nagar were moved to newly built homes.
A total of 404 families were relocated to Keerapakkam, 260 families to Thailavaram, and the remaining 252 families resettled at a housing board in Perumbakkam.
"Each family received a 400 sqft house, worth around 17.5 lakh. In addition, the govt offered an initial relocation allowance of 5,000, a monthly support of 2,500 for one year, and electricity deposits. Based on public requests, we arranged bus facilities to improve connectivity from Keerapakkam starting June 1.
Additionally, Wi-Fi services have been set up through TNUHDB," said Tambaram corporation commissioner S Balachander.
Special camps were also organised to assist with Aadhaar updates, ration card corrections, and enrolment in govt welfare schemes. The civic body provided educational support, including issuing transfer certificates and arranging new school admissions for children relocated from Anakaputhur.
Currently, the local authorities are clearing debris near the water body, and restoration work is expected to officially begin in Sept, with chief minister M K Stalin scheduled to lay the foundation stone.

₹93.5 crore flood work set to begin along Madurai's Panthalkudi Channel
Madurai: To mitigate flooding during the monsoon, the water resources department (WRD) is set to launch ₹93.5 crore worth of flood control work along the Panthalkudi Channel and surrounding areas. The project includes constructing reinforced cement concrete (RCC) retaining walls on both sides of the canal and upgrading existing culverts to improve water flow and prevent breaches during heavy rainfall. WRD officials said tenders will be floated this week, and a government order is expected soon. Of the total cost, ₹63.5 crore has been earmarked for the retaining walls along Panthalkudi, and ₹6.9 crore for revamping six existing culverts. Additional flood protection measures are also planned for Eachan Oadai near Mattuthavani and low-lying areas in Uthangudi, which were flooded during last year's rains. The Panthalkudi channel, which carries overflow from the Sellur tank to the Vaigai, is one of the city's oldest and most vital water channels. However, unchecked sewage discharge and garbage dumping have turned it into an open drain. "The stench is unbearable, and the canal overflows onto the streets during rains," said M Saravanan, a Sellur resident. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Official IQ Test: What is Your IQ? | Answer 30 Questions to Find Out IQ International Undo "Sewage from several wards enters the canal. What's the point of underground drainage if it doesn't work?" he added. Chief minister M K Stalin had inspected the channel on May 31 and directed civic officials to expedite the restoration. But delays have sparked public concern ahead of the northeast monsoon. "This isn't just an infrastructure issue — it's a matter of public health and safety. The work must start immediately before the next round of rains," said M Sankara Pandian, a civic activist from Sellur. MSID:: 122936201 413 |
