Chennai Poll Canvas: Royapuram | Fight for housing and livelihood

Chennai Poll Canvas is an election special programme from The Hindu, offering a comprehensive constituency roundup from in and around Chennai for the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2026.

In this episode, we focus on Royapuram — one of Chennai’s oldest coastal constituencies, deeply connected to fishing communities and working-class livelihoods. Despite its historical significance and economic importance, residents continue to face pressing challenges such as livelihood security, affordable housing, and gaps in basic civic infrastructure.
From the struggles of fishing communities to the demand for better living conditions, Royapuram highlights the everyday realities of urban coastal life. Stay tuned as we bring you ground voices, key issues, and what truly matters to voters on the ground.
