Aurovillians continue with protest against road laying, work halted
The Hindu
The impasse between the protesting residents and the TDC has been continuing
Residents of Auroville continued with their protest in the wee hours of Sunday as the Town Development Council (TDC) and the Auroville Foundation again brought in earthmovers and cleared a few metres for laying of a road for the Crown Project. The work was again stopped due to protests.
The project envisages the establishment of four zones — industrial, cultural, residential and recreational — growing radially out of the Matrimandir. The Town Development Council has been tasked with evolving an action plan for the project.
The impasse between the protesting residents and the TDC has been continuing as the Resident Assembly has suggested an alternative route for the project.
