Dattatri
Mr G. Dattatri passed away in his house in Chennai in the morning of September 12th at the age of 82. Mr Dattatri was the first Chief Town Planner of CMDA (Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority), known for his vast experience complimented by a very friendly and encouraging nature. He was also member of L’avenir d’Auroville’s Advisory Group.
Mr Dattatri was associated with Auroville for a very long time and was an instrumental figure in the formulation of Auroville’s Master Plan. Throughout the years, he had been advising and guiding on the works related to land protection, regional planning, development in and around Auroville, and related legal matters. Whenever he saw an opportunity, he was among the first ones to promote the cause of Auroville with his usual enthusiasm and kind-heartedness.
We extend our sincerest condolences to his family. He will always be remembered as a very dear friend of Auroville.
