Residents resist eviction move
Special Correspondent
TAMBARAM: Led by representatives of major political parties, residents of Tiruvalluvar Nagar in Palavakkam went on a day-long hunger strike on Thursday, as part of their efforts to resist reported attempts to evict them.
A few hundred people, including several women and children, participated in the hunger strike off Rajiv Gandhi Salai. The Tiruvalluvar Nagar Residents Welfare Association was permitted to stage the hunger strike near the Taluk office in Tambaram, but the residents insisted they would stage it only near their locality.
Following an assurance that they would not spill on the road, the hunger strike was permitted. P.Rajendran, association secretary and ward member of Palavakkam Village Panchayat, said about 300 families moved into the present location in 1984. He said they originally belonged to Tiruvanmiyur and Kottivakkam, but were left homeless following heavy rains that year.
