CHENNAI: The proposed Kattupalli port expansion project, which will adversely impact the Pulicat lagoon, will not be allowed, said Tiruvallur MP Jayakumar, South Chennai MP Thamizhachi Thangapandian and Ponneri MLA Durai Chandrasekhar in a joint press conference on Saturday.
Attending a traditional seafood feast organised by Pulicat women (in pic), Jayakumar said he had raised the issue in the Parliament multiple times.

During the feast, traditional recipes prepared using the fish of the season, crab, and prawns were served to the public representatives.
