Residents of Chinniyampalayam on the outskirts of Coimbatore staged a demonstration on Friday demanding higher compensation from the State government for land acquisition in connection with the expansion of Coimbatore International Airport.
In a statement, the residents demanded that they required ₹ 3,000 per sq.ft. of the land acquired. Other demands to the district administration included providing adequate time for relocation.
For the airport expansion project, the State government has allocated ₹ 1,132 crore and 624.81 acre is estimated to be acquired.

On November 30, a team of officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), Water Resources Department (WRD) and Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) conducted a joint inspection of a rainwater vent below the Chennai Bypass Road in Thiruneermalai. This marks the second time NHAI and WRD have carried out an inspection following a request being made by residents. They want NHAI to widen the vent located below the Bypass Road to facilitate rainwater drainage from ‘Nattukalvai’. The office bearers of the Federation of Welfare Associations accompanied the officials.
