Fisherfolk in Pattinampakkam staged a protest demanding the cancellation of the proposed new secretariat, citing concerns over coastal impact.
In Pattinampakkam, a group of local fisherfolk gathered on the shoreline to protest the government's plan to construct a new secretariat in the area.
The protestors argue that the proposed development could disrupt fishing activities and damage the coastal ecosystem.
They demanded that the authorities reconsider the location and seek alternative sites that would not affect the livelihoods of the fishing community.
The government has yet to respond to the demands, but the protest has drawn attention to the need for inclusive planning in coastal regions.
