Loop Road fishermen to hold black flag protest on Sunday

Fishermen from various villages along the Marina Loop Road in Tamil Nadu are planning to hold a protest with a black flag on Sunday. Their primary grievance is the proposed construction of a Secretariat at Foreshore Estate, which they strongly oppose. The fishermen are demanding the return of lands from Mullikuppam and Mullimanagar to their respective villages for future expansion.

They also seek the construction of houses in lieu of the ones built over 40 to 50 years ago. The fishermen have lodged their demands with the Chief Minister’s Special Cell and hope for a positive decision. They have appealed to the government to appoint a representative to listen to their concerns before making any major decisions.
