CHENNAI: Residents of several areas near the Pallavaram lake went on a fast on Friday in front of Government Guest House, Chepauk, protesting against eviction notice served on them.

Residents of Zamin Pallavaram said they were residing near the lake and had not encroached upon it. They said most of the nearly 3,000 residents were residing in areas including Joseph Colony, Joy Nagar, Ganapathy Nagar and Sanjay Gandhi Nagar North for over three decades.

The residents have been served eviction notice by the Public Works Department as part of its drive to remove encroachments and restore lakes on the fringes of the city.

President of Human Care Human Rights Protection A. Joseph said the water in the lake was polluted due to discharge from leather factories and not suitable for drinking.
