Description
The State Government of Tamil Nadu, in collaboration with architects, engineers and academicians, is exploring the viability of quality shelters for migrant construction workers working on infrastructure projects in the city of Chennai. Durganand Balsavar, principal architect of ARTES Human Settlements Development Collaborative, said that the idea is still in the initial stage and talks are on with various stakeholders to make it a reality. The idea is to provide the migrant labourers, who are building the city’s infrastructure, with better homes and facilities. The workers currently live in unhygienic conditions without basic amenities in their settlements.
