A major controversy is brewing in Tamil Nadu. The Union Government has sent back the Detailed Project Reports — or DPRs — for the Coimbatore and Madurai Metro Rail projects. Chief Minister MK Stalin has lashed out at the Centre, calling the move biased and unjustified. With Assembly elections just months away, this decision is no longer just about transport — it’s turning into a full-blown political flashpoint. Why were the DPRs returned? Is the Centre’s reasoning valid? And what does this mean for the future of urban mobility in Tamil Nadu?
