The Tamil Nadu government is moving ahead with plans to construct a new combined Assembly-Secretariat complex, narrowing down its options to three potential sites ahead of a mid-September deadline for the final selection.
The decision to identify alternative locations comes as the state seeks to modernize its legislative infrastructure. Officials have been evaluating various sites based on accessibility, available land area, and long-term administrative requirements for housing both the Assembly and key secretariat departments.
State authorities are expected to complete their evaluation of the three proposed locations and announce the chosen site by mid-September. The complex, once constructed, would consolidate legislative and executive functions at a single venue, potentially improving administrative efficiency.
Details regarding the specific locations under consideration and the estimated cost of the project have not been made public. The government is expected to release further information following the formal site selection, including architectural plans and a proposed timeline for construction.
