Hi.... The heritage conservation committee is likely to clear the proposal shortly. CMRL, however, is yet to make a decision of the total additional area required on the premises of Ripon Buildings.

But bulbul..CMRL saya that so far no extra land was demanded from the Ripon Buildings premises. He said that they are planning to seek extra land from the Chennai Corporation for the construction work. This extra land is required as new designs led to rearrangements of the structures which were planned earlier. And in this regard, they have still not submitted any proposal.

Actually the State government and Chennai Corporation were allowed to use 4507 sq. m. of the land by issuing G.O and passing resolution respectively but the Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) added extra area to the construction site on the premises of Ripon Buildings.

Hello Mr Iyer...The construction of Chennai metro rail is slowly blocking the Ripon Buildings in the city. The metro authorities have not taken proper permission from government or Corporation Council in this regard.
