The Hindu Reports on the Protests Against the Elevated Corridor

I have received the following link from the Coastal Protection Group which is dedicated to monitoring "development" along the beautiful Chennai coast: http://www.hindu.com/2009/08/31/stories/2009083158430200.htm The report on the recent protests that were organized are very to the point. Additionally, there is a presentation that could be downloaded from: http://www.sipcotcuddalore.com/reports.html that should interest those who are interested in alternative solutions to this very vexing issue.

The Coastal Protection Group inserted 18,000 pamphlets into newspapers and distributed them to the public at the various beaches in their drive to get information across. This is incredible work and I would request friends who are in the USA and elsewhere in India who support this group, to please follow this campaign which I shall be writing about here. Please also pass this information on to as many people as you can. Thank you!
