PMK Leader Calls for Second Airport, Large Reservoir in Parandur

PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss has called for the development of a second airport in Chennai, arguing that the city's existing airport falls short of international standards in terms of runway specifications and passenger convenience.

Ramadoss emphasized that Chennai, as a major metropolitan center and economic hub, requires aviation infrastructure comparable to leading international airports. The current facility, he contended, does not meet the operational and passenger experience benchmarks expected of modern airports serving cities of Chennai's stature.

Beyond airport infrastructure, the PMK leader has also advocated for the development of a large-scale reservoir project in Parandur. The proposal appears aligned with addressing the region's water security and agricultural needs, though details of the reservoir project remain limited.

The calls reflect broader concerns among regional political leaders regarding Chennai's infrastructure development and its capacity to support the city's growing population and economic activities. The proposals, if realized, could significantly impact the metropolitan region's development trajectory.
