Chief Wildlife warden goes on record saying Pulicat's 10km eco-sensitive zone (ESZ) will not exist after settlement of rights. The way for Adani port will be cleared if the ESZ is reduced. Reason for TN to be deeply worried -

Suspected shark attack off Adyar estuary. 25 year old shore fisher from Srinivaspuram injured. #ScienceOfTheSeas

Thanks to @AishRavi64 for reporting this issue!

[Rahul Muralidharan @RahulM29]

The Corporation Commissioner is escaping from her/his responsibilities by pegging these CRZ violations on poll season. But this has been happening for the past one year, which I would term as sequential destruction. Please act and not give excuses @chennaicorp

Debris dumped in front of the Arupadai Veedu Murugan Temple in Besant Nagar, alongside the beach shore, is in violation of the provisions of the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Area, reports @AishRavi64

In my #applied #research on #environmental protection, I've analysed the @Tnpcbofficial's functions under specific parameters between 2017 and 2022. Check out the study report for @CAGChennai here: https://t.co/mF0xawmhxe

Key insights from the report, a #thread🧵👇🏽(1/n)

I live near this beach and visit regularly. @chennaicorp has not paid any attention and the beach has been destroyed. Natural coastal vegetation and morphology of the beach has changed due to incessant debris dumping, road laying and rain water canal path. Can it be revived?

[Charu Govindan @charuGovindan]

This spot is behind Arupadai Murugan temple in Besant nagar - literally the land between the beach & temple. The locals around use it to access the beach.

My question: Is it the designated official spot for discarding construction debris by @chennaicorp? #ward179

@bigbasket_com is the worst delivery service. Behaving as if they are providing free of charge and not delivering on time. Time to stop using their service, while there are so many services providers out there!

Fishing villages in Pulicat reduced to an archipelago. No electricity, food, H20. Nobody visited. Water not drained. Thank heavens Adani Port did not get built. Otherwise, the beach would have disappeared & problem worse. #ChennaiRains #ChennaiFloods2023 #StopAdaniSavePulicat

[ChennaiWeather @Chennai_Rains]

#Chennairains GFS model which is generally good in terms of precipitation within 24 hours got it right until now is expecting deluge rains by evening. If holds true this can cause serious damage to already saturated flooded #Chennai.
Stay safe & follow govt ,IMD instructions.
