Chennai: The Madras High Court on Monday canceled the land acquisition announcements for the controversial eight-lane expressway between Chennai-Salem.

The state government issued notification last May and began acquiring lands for the project evoking strong protests by the farmers.

The PMK and others had filed a case in the High Court against the road project.

Reacting to the judgment PMK spokesperson K.Balu told the media that it was a victory for PMK.

Speaking to a television channel, Tamil Nadu Fisheries Minister D. Jayakumar said the government will not implement projects that would affect farmers.

He said the judgment has to be studied.
