The site in which the mortal remains of the DMDK founder Vijayakant were laid to rest on Friday once formed a part of the property, which was an intense subject matter of litigation.
Originally, the area housed a marriage hall — Andal Azhagar Kalyana Mandapam in Koyambedu, which was later used to accommodate the headquarters of the party, which was founded in September 2005. [Now, the DMDK’s head office is located on the remaining portion].
