The Tamil Nadu government has issued a formal order granting ‘in-principle approval’ for the construction of a new legislative assembly and secretariat complex at an estimated cost of Rs 1,200 crore.
The GO (Ms) No. 564, dated September 8, follows an announcement made by Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay on the floor of the assembly on September 3 under Rule 110.
According to the order, the government has identified specific land parcels in Mylapore Town for the project. The 25.55-acre area aggregates lands currently in the possession of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board, the Greater Chennai Corporation, and the government revenue department.
The public works department (PWD) has been directed to submit a detailed project report (DPR), along with the estimates, within three months.
