Since the forest department denied permission to build the Nallambakkam Oorapakkam road, it has not been laid for 21 years. As a result, locals from more than 18 surrounding villages have no proper way to commute.

Hence, the people from Nallambakkam and Keerappakkam panchayats condemned the forest department and engaged in a road blockade.

Upon receiving the information, the Talampoor police rushed to the scene and after further negotiation, they dispersed the crowd.
