Tamil Nadu notifies area for Chengalpattu satellite town.
CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu government has notified 136.25 sq km consisting of 60 villages to develop the satellite town of Chengalpattu, according to a Government Order (GO) issued by Housing Secretary Hitesh Kumar S Makwana.The GO, issued on Wednesday, said a study was done for delineation of planning area boundaries for the proposed Chengalpattu New Town, which includes 60 villages from Chengalpattu, Thirukazhukundram, and Thiruporur taluks.
“The contiguous villages around the central core of Chengalpattu town, bounded by the natural boundary of Palar River on the west, GST Road and Mahindra City or Singaperumal Koil on the north, several non-continuous hillocks on the east, and the new administrative headquarters on the south have been considered for the delineation of planning area boundary,” the GO stated.
This will help tap the potential of new residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional activities along GST Road, Chengalpattu-Thiruporur Corridor, and the Chengalpattu-Wallajabad Corridor, the GO said.
The government had planned satellite towns to decongest Chennai. The four other satellite towns proposed are Thirumazhisai, Minjur, Kancheepuram, and Tiruvallur.
