Watch: Parandur airport scrapped: What do the youth say? | The Hindu Ground Report

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from The Hindu · South Asia

Following Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s announcement to officially drop the proposed greenfield airport at Parandur, social media and political corridors have been consumed by debates over Chennai’s aviation capacity, economic growth, and ecological preservation. This ground report focuses on the voices living with the immediate consequences: the local youth across Parandur’s affected belt, whose lives and careers have been split into two distinct paths.
