Residents of Kamarajar Nagar in Perungudi, Chennai, are threatening to boycott the upcoming Assembly election in the Sholinganallur constituency due to ongoing delays in the issuance of computerised subdivision pattas. The Kamarajar Nagar Residents Association, representing approximately 250 families, has submitted a representation to the chief electoral officer, citing the authorities' indifference despite numerous appeals. The residents claim they purchased their plots through registered sale deeds between 1983 and 1985 and have constructed homes with the necessary approvals. They have maintained peaceful possession of their properties and have consistently paid all statutory taxes. However, their applications for computerised pattas have been pending since 2009, prompting their decision to protest during the election.
