Anbumani Ramadoss criticized the Tamil Nadu government regarding delays in officially notifying the Pallikaranai marshland as a wetland. In response, the Tamil Nadu State Wetland Authority filed a counter affidavit stating that the buffer zone around the marshland was reduced from 8,397 acres, as identified by the National Green Tribunal, to 316 acres. Ramadoss questioned whether the Authority was prioritizing construction companies over the government.
