Chief Minister Vijay said the government is evaluating four alternative locations for moving the state Assembly and Secretariat out of the historic Fort St George complex in Chennai.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay is currently weighing four possible sites for relocating the state Assembly and Secretariat from their present location at Fort St George. The historic fort complex in Chennai has housed the legislature and administrative offices for many decades.
The Chief Minister’s office indicated that the exercise is part of a broader review of government infrastructure, though no final decision has been made yet. Officials said the evaluation includes factors such as accessibility, space requirements and logistical feasibility.
Until a site is selected and approved, the Assembly and Secretariat will continue to operate from Fort St George. The process is expected to involve further consultations with relevant stakeholders before any move is undertaken.
