|March 26, 2025
A heated exchange erupted in the state Assembly on Tuesday over the Coimbatore airport expansion project, with AIADMK MLA and former minister SP Velumani arguing with DMK ministers V Senthil Balaji and TRB Rajaa over fund allocations and project execution delays.
During the debate on the demand for grants for municipal administration and water supplies department, Velumani claimed that the AIADMK government, under former chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami, had approved the acquisition of 627.89 acres across five villages.
He said that ₹300 crore was earmarked for land acquisition in the 2020-21 financial year for the airport project. However, he accused both the DMK government and the Union government of stalling the project for the past four years despite initial progress.
