Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi founder Thol. Thirumavalavan and Naam Tamilar Katchi chief coordinator Seeman on Friday met the people who have been protesting against land acquisition for the new airport in Parandur.
Mr. Thirumavalavan said people from 13 villages have protested against the 4,700 acres to be acquired from them to build the new airport.
“The Ekanapuram villagers have lost even their place of dwelling. I visited the village to meet the people. They demanded that the land be acquired without removing the places where they are dwelling. The Centre and State governments must look into this request,” he said.
