TAHDCO industrial sheds at Perundurai lying unused for over 25 years, says association
The Perundurai SIPCOT Affected People’s Welfare Association is demanding the renovation and allocation of 200 industrial sheds that have remained unused for over 25 years. The association claims the facilities have fallen into disrepair and are being misused for anti-social activities.
Why it matters
It highlights issues of bureaucratic inefficiency and the failure of government infrastructure projects intended to support marginalized communities.
The Perundurai SIPCOT Affected People’s Welfare Association has urged the State government to renovate and allot 200 industrial sheds constructed by the Tamil Nadu Adi Dravidar Housing and Development Corporation (TAHDCO) at the Perundurai Sipcot Industrial Growth Centre, stating that they have remained unused for more than 25 years.
In a representation submitted to the Minister for Social Justice Vanni Arasu, the association said 150 acres of land in the 2,700-acre Perundurai SIPCOT Industrial Growth Centre had been allotted to TAHDCO. During the 1996-2001 DMK regime, 200 industrial sheds were constructed on about 100 acres at a cost of several crores of rupees to help members of the Adi Dravidar community establish knitwear units.
