Residents’ plea

Residents of Kunduchetti Lake had appealed to the State Government to start the construction of apartment buildings through the Tamil Nadu Housing Board.

The Government had asked the 66 families who lived in the old apartment buildings of the board to vacate and demolished the buildings a few months ago.

Officials had promised to construct new apartment buildings in the same place and re-settle the families.

But no efforts were being made to construct the buildings.

The residents submitted a petition to the officials on Monday demanding that the Government start the construction of the apartment buildings without delay.
