What happened
PMK President Anbumani Ramadoss alleged that the construction of a 6-foot-high retaining wall and a 2-km-long walkway in the Pallikaranai marshland obstructed the natural flow of rainwater. This obstruction allegedly led to waterlogging and flooding in Pallikaranai and Jalladianpet in Chennai. Ramadoss demanded that the structures be demolished and an inquiry be ordered into the project, which he claimed the Forest Department proceeded with despite warnings.
