Allston residents feared Harvard would halt construction on the science complex—a core component of the University’s ambitious plans to build a new campus across the Charles River—originally due to be completed in 2011.

He says the delay in construction has been forced by the 213-foot (65m) no-build buffer zone implemented along the coast in Kalmunai after the tsunami. Authorities have been forced to reclaim land formerly used for paddy cultivation to build the new homes to replace those that fell in the buffer zone.
