CHENNAI: The revenue officials on Thursday seized a government property worth Rs 200 crore encroached near Pallavaram.
The 1.5-acre land was situated near the Pallavaram Friday market road and it was given on lease to MM Gupta many years ago. Gupta, who was running a company in the land, was renting the space for movie shooting.

The officials also disconnected the power supply to the buildings and placed a hoarding that the land belong to the Tamil Nadu government.
