Residents of Parvathipuram village in Vadalur, Cuddalore district, protested inside construction pits for the Vallalar International Centre. They oppose the Tamil Nadu government’s decision to build the center in the peruveli area, traditionally used by followers of the Smarasa Sanmarga Sanga movement. They demand the relocation of the center to another site. Tension escalated as residents entered the construction area, voicing their concerns against the ₹100 crore project, inaugurated by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin in February.
