Summary

Fishermen from Chennai's coastal belt staged protests on September 29, 2026, against the Tamil Nadu government's proposal to construct a Rs 1,200-crore Secretariat-Assembly complex at Pattinapakkam. The fishermen, representing more than 10 fishing hamlets across coastal areas from Ennore to Kovalam, expressed concerns about displacement and threats to their traditional fishing livelihoods. Protests included a sit-in at Srinivasapuram Beach and a black flag procession, with over 200 police personnel deployed for security. The fishermen demanded the government formally rescind the government order and declare the coastal stretch a traditional residential area for fishermen, with provisions for housing and land titles. They also cited existing restrictions from the Chief Minister's residence and Fisheries Department presence. The government stated the project was only in preliminary stages, while the fishermen warned of statewide and indefinite protests if their demands were not met.
