Summary

On September 29, 2026, fishing communities from across Chennai's coastal belt staged a protest at Srinivasapuram Beach to oppose the Tamil Nadu government's proposal to construct a new Secretariat and Assembly complex at Pattinapakkam. Participants, including representatives from over 10 fishing hamlets, held a sit-in and a black flag procession to express concerns over potential displacement and the threat to their traditional livelihoods. The protesters demanded that the government rescind the project order and formally declare the coastal stretch a traditional residential area for fishermen. While the government stated the project is in a preliminary stage, the demonstrators warned of further action if their demands are not met.
