The DMK government in Tamil Nadu is creating hurdles for itself in implementing the ₹20,000-crore second airport project due to its lack of planning and transparency and should take steps to ensure that the project is implemented with the people’s support and environment clearance, Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai said on Tuesday.
Mr. Annamalai said environment clearance and all other statutory clearances should be obtained for the project. Even though the Aviation Ministry had given its approval, an environment impact assessment needed to be done for the project, he added.
“Due to the lack of planning and transparency, the project is facing protests from residents and environment activists as this place is a wetland. The government, due to its failure to plan properly, is creating hurdles for itself,” he said.
