CHENNAI: Coming out in defence of the building violations at T Nagar, the Tamil Nadu Vanigar Sangankalin Peravai has sought the State Government to initiate steps for regularising the sealed buildings instead of razing them down.“If you start demolishing buildings for violations, most of the shops in commercial areas across Tamil Nadu would have to be pulled down,” Velliayan, State president of the forum said in a press conferencehere on Tuesday, “In turn, this would put retail trade at stake, at a time when Foreign Direct Investments are threatening to do away retail trade from the country,” he added.Stressing that the livelihood of 25,000 employees working in the sealed buildings at T Nagar, was hanging in the balance, he said, the Government may penalise the buildings constructed with violations.However, the leader of the one of largest traders forum in Tamil Nadu did not have an answer when the scribes quizzed him why it (traders forum) failed to highlight the plight of the workers in the past. On October 31, about 25 multi-storied buildings in T Nagar were sealed by the Chennai Corporation along with CMDA for various violations.
