Article 14@Article14live

Imagine living somewhere for 150 years & being called an encroacher. As ports expand, coastal communities pay the price. In Gujarat’s Kandla creek, 1,400 mostly Muslim homes were demolished From @shreyaraman18 after 7 months of reporting. Subscribe to support such stories 1/2

Chennai Metro Rail was preparing to open this stretch, first in Dec which was then postponed to Feb. It is to be noted Poonamallee-Porur stretch got final safety clearance from Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety approving it is fit for ops. It is likely to be opened in June now
