TAMBARAM:
Three members of the Pozhichalur Struggle Committee, formed to oppose land acquisition for the proposed Chennai airport modernisation, are contesting in local bodies elections.
R. Kannan, 61, and M. Gopal, 35, are contesting in ward no.5 in Pozhichalur village panchayat. They have been assigned `cot' and `jar' symbols. V. Ganesan, 40, is contesting on the `cot' symbol in ward no. 4.
The contestants, who are free from political affiliations, say that if elected, they will voice the committee's cause.
Along with many civic groups, political parties and other organisations, residents of Pozhichalur, Anakaputhur, Pammal and Gowl Bazaar have been staging protests for more than six months. They have charged various government agencies with having changed the original plan of airport expansion.
