This comes in the
wake of handing over possession of certain plots of land to Chennai
Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) and the closure of KWMC ‘F’ and ‘G’ Roads as
Metro Rail began work to lay a test track for the four-rake train, which
is likely to be stationed in the Rs 198-crore state-of-the-art depot
coming up on the site by June.

Sources said, a proposal for
acquisition of land measuring 5.46 hectares in Nerkundram village was
sent to the government through the Tiruvallur Collector for approval to
build a road linking the market and Poonamallee High Road.

Currently,
the proposal to acquire land was only for the 80-feet Road alignment.
“The work for total station survey has been awarded to a consultant, who
has been asked to furnish two alternate alignment map for formation of
the link road and prepare a revised Land Plan Schedule,” sources said.
