Coastal Protection Group on NDTV Hindu

YouTube - ndtvhindu's Channel

There's some news about the protests against the proposed elevated expressway along the Chennai beaches in this segment from NDTV Hindu's Youtube channel. This blog was inspired by the group that does this work in India and this post is meant as a big thanks to them. That said, the hard work that they have put in, is at a critical stage and the risks of the expressway being built are great indeed. Hopefully, friends of this blog would try and help in whatever way they can to convince the political and bureaucratic authorities that their expressway plan is ill conceived, bound to be unnecessarily expensive and not really likely to help any of the groups representing people living along the proposed route. Do we want to replace some of the loveliest public spaces in Chennai with a concrete monstrosity, noise and perpetual exhaust smoke?
