Residents in Pallavaram Assembly Constituency wanted Pallavaram and other surrounding areas to be merged with the Greater Chennai Corporation, making Pallavaram a new zone.[2] Underground Sewerage System was announced for Pammal and Anakaputhur Municipalities. The documents also confirmed that Pammal and Anakaputhur will be merged with Greater Chennai Corporation.[3] Residents expected Pallavaram to be upgraded as independent municipal corporation or merge with Greater Chennai Corporation by merging with Pammal and Anakaputhur Municipalities and other villages.[4]
