Long-term housing plan for fishers across Tamil Nadu delayed due to red tape

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: The long-standing issue of preparing a long-term housing plan for fishermen in Tamil Nadu has been caught in a web of bureaucratic delays and inter-departmental inefficiencies, an RTI reply obtained by a fisherman showed. A series of communications between the Department of Environment, Tamil Nadu State Coastal Zone Management Authority, and the Department of Fisheries and Fishermen Welfare indicated that each was trying to pass the buck to the other. According to the Chennai Climate Action Plan 2023, several traditional fishing villages in Chennai --- from Ennore Kuppam to Nainarkuppam --- are under severe threat from sea-level rise and coastal erosion by 2050. The CRZ Notification 2019 mandates the preparation of a long-term housing plan for fishermen to be included in the Coastal Zone Management Plan.
