The New Indian Express Chennai
|July 16, 2025
The southern bench of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Tuesday issued a stay order on ongoing development works on the 118-acre land reclaimed from the erstwhile Madras Race Club, until a comprehensive report is submitted by the chief secretary to the state government.

The bench observed that the land—proposed to be developed into an ecological park—should not be altered pending final orders.
The bench, comprising judicial member Justice Pushpa Sathyanarayana and expert Satyagopal Korlapati, was hearing two connected applications, including a suo motu case initiated on the basis of a news report highlighting pollution in Velachery Lake.
