Some people who know the details who spoke to us said, “The Metro Rail Administration has announced that only the perimeter wall and Kaliman will be removed. However, when the land is under construction, it is not correct to take the right amount and complete the construction within that time. Either way, they’ll take at least two extra steps.
During 2007, the Andal Alakar wedding hall owned by DMDK founder Vijayakanth in Coimbatore was demolished and taken over by the National Highways Department for construction of the Koyambedu flyover. For those coming from Barimuna, there is a ‘U’ turn bridge to turn right to Koyambed. There was a big controversy when the Vijayakanth Mandapam was demolished.
“When we see Kamal Haasan’s land being acquired, the Vijayakanth Niyapagam comes to everyone’s mind,” he said.
Talking to the spokesperson of the People’s Justice Center Murali Abbas about this, he said, “Land survey is a preliminary work that can be done before the work starts. The Metro administration had sent a notice a year ago. It’s not a new thing, it’s an old thing. It has been said that up to 10 feet is required. In front of the building there is a surrounding wall and an empty space where there is a statue of K. Balachander.
The pillar is being laid up to Kodambakkam power house, after that the metro administration has not crossed the power house as it is underground. They will come here only after completing Poontamalli to Kodambakkam. So, there is no problem in this. Metro Rail management is in talks with Raj Kamal Films management. A smooth decision will be made, what kind of decision it will be is not known now. There is no premeditated political conspiracy in this, like Vijayakanth Mandapam was planned, except Purasas, which can be carried out when any plans are implemented!” said.
