News in brief

Keywords: Auroville Town Development Council (ATDC) / L’Avenir d’Auroville, Outer Ring Road and Residents’ Assembly Town Development Council (RA-TDC)

On 29 January, a member of the Auroville Town Development Council constituted by the Governing Board (GB-ATDC) verbally informed community members that it now “had permission to increase the Outer Ring Road (ORR) to 30 meters wide”. On 3 February 2024, workers began cutting trees along the ORR, and continued cutting in the following weeks. The Town Development Council constituted by the Residents’ Assembly (RA-TDC) has sent a letter to numerous state and central government officials, cataloguing the destruction.
