Delivery date today, but houses for Irulars barely built
The New Indian Express Chennai
|August 16, 2025
The Kancheepuram district administration has missed its promised deadline of August 15 for constructing 88 houses for Irular tribal families in Katrambakkam and Mannur villages.
The families, who live in huts near waterbodies, have been waiting for the state government to construct houses since 2021 when they received pattas (land titles).
Construction of the houses on identified land in these two villages started in March this year. Senior IAS officer and managing director of Tamil Nadu Adi Dravidar Housing and Development Corporation (TAHDCO) KS Kandasamy, on May 1, inspected the works and promised the Irulars that the houses would be delivered by August 15.
