Experts urge TN govt to end illegal building regularisation culture
Urban planning experts have urged the Tamil Nadu government to show political will in tackling rule-violating buildings and to put an end to the long-running practice of “regularising” illegal constructions. They pointed out that the Madras High Court and the Supreme Court have issued strong directions in multiple cases, including orders to demolish buildings with major violations. However, successive DMK and AIADMK governments were reluctant to implement these orders and instead told courts they would regularise minor violations first and then act against major offenders.
