Stalin on Monday (August 26, 2024) virtually laid the foundation stone for the construction of an Ornamental Fish Trade Centre and various other projects as part of a comprehensive plan for the development of North Chennai. These projects are to be implemented by the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority.

The construction of the Ornamental Fish Trade Centre and a community centre and the strengthening of the banks of Retteri and Kolathur lakes are to be undertaken at a total cost of ₹115.58 crore, an official release said.
