CHENNAI: Nearly two years after the announcement, the industrial housing project for labourers at an industrial park on the outskirts of Chennai, besides the furniture park at Tuticorin have received the nod from the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA).
The newly formed panel, headed by retired IAS officer K Deenabandhu granted the environment clearance (EC) at the 483rd meeting held recently. The state industries promotion corporation of Tamil Nadu (SIPCOT) would execute the industrial housing project, which is believed to be the first of its kind in the country, to provide affordable accommodation to the workforce.
