Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Tuesday announced construction of a new building at a cost of Rs 120 crore to 13 important departments functioning from Ezhilagam.
He told the Assembly that these departments were functioning from the Ezhilagam campus and it cost the government a lot to maintain these old buildings.
“A new building will be constructed in such a manner that its design will match the traditional architecture of the neighbouring buildings,” he said.
The compound wall — the remaining six kilometres — of the Tamil University in Thanjavur would be constructed at a cost of Rs 10 crore.
