A report details why actor-turned-politician Vijay decided to cancel the proposed second airport project for Chennai at Parandur.
The Tamil Nadu government has decided to drop the proposed second airport project near Chennai at Parandur following protests from local residents. Chief Minister Vijay announced the decision, stating that a new location for the airport will be proposed instead.

Chief Minister MK Stalin announced the abandonment of the proposed Parandur airport project in India, citing the need to protect agricultural land and local livelihoods.

A DMK MP stated that the Centre has not yet received a formal request from the Tamil Nadu government to change the proposed site for the new greenfield airport at Parandur in Kancheepuram district.

M.K. Stalin criticized Chief Minister Vijay for abandoning the plan to construct a second Chennai airport at Parandur, calling it an 'irreversible setback'.
The Parandur airport project has been notified as a 'Special Project' to accelerate land acquisition and approval processes, particularly for large parcels including water bodies.
