Description

Description	The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) froze planning approvals around the Pallikaranai Ramsar site in October 2025, affecting over one lakh patta holders and halting construction and development in South Chennai areas including Velachery, Pallikaranai, Perungudi, Sholinganallur, and Perumbakkam. The freeze was implemented following a National Green Tribunal order to treat a 1km buffer around the Ramsar site as an influence zone and halt construction activity. This has led to a crisis in ownership and house development, delays in construction and housing loans, and a significant economic impact.
