TIRUCHI: Tenders for the flood prevention project in Tiruchi will be called next week, Transport Minister K. N. Nehru said.
Speaking at a function to mark the distribution of free colour television sets to residents of the ward 47 in the city and to inaugurate the sodium vapour lights in the city on Friday, Mr. Nehru said that the work, to be executed at an outlay of Rs. 254 crore, would be of great relief to the residents of the city whenever the Cauvery and the Coleroon rivers were in spate.
He said that since the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam came to power two years ago, several development schemes were being implemented in Tiruchi district. Listing out the allocations made by Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi for various schemes to be implemented in Tiruchi, Mr. Nehru said the second phase of underground drainage scheme at an estimate of Rs.160 crore would be implemented soon.
Pattas to 1,500 persons would be distributed and site worth about Rs.11 crore would be assigned to them on Saturday.
Collector T. Soundaiah, who presided over the function, said that about 92,000 persons had so far benefited under the free colour television scheme in the district.
Mr. Nehru gave away television sets to about 3,000 persons on the occasion. He also inaugurated the sodium vapour lamp facility on the campus of the St. Anne’s Girls’ Higher Secondary School sanctioned under the Member of Parliament Local Area Development Fund scheme. MP L. Ganesan, Deputy Mayor M. Anbazhagan and Archbishop Rev.Fr. Antony Devotta were among those who spoke.
