Work on construction of a Manimandapam honouring Kongu chieftain Kalingarayan is progressing at a brisk pace.
In deference to the requests made by the farming community that benefits from the 90-mile canal constructed by Kalingarayan, the State Government had, last year, sanctioned Rs. 1.65 crore for construction of the memorial. The work that commenced during May this year is expected to be completed by March 2017, official sources said.
The 1,900 sq.m. area provided for the memorial was at a depth of 15 feet and had to be levelled completely before start of beautification works.
