Tamil actor Vijay, who also leads the Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam party is planning a protest march for January 20th. The march is going to happen in Eganapuram village which is located in the Kanchipuram district. This protest is about a new airport that’s planned to be built there. Vijay wants to go to the village and join the march, taking a leading role in it.
People living in about twenty villages in the area have been protesting against this airport since 2022. They’re worried about how the airport construction will affect them and their homes. Vijay’s participation is meant to help bring more attention to their fight and get more people to support them. The march on January 20th is a way to show they really don’t want this new airport to be built.
The villagers don’t want the new airport and that’s why they’re protesting. They will be directly affected by the construction. Right now the permission for the march is still being reviewed. Vijay’s support might make more people aware of the problem and maybe even change what the government decides to do about the airport plans.
