Trichy corporation plans to revive pending projects

The Trichy corporation council on Thursday passed key resolutions to finally give shape to a few long-pending projects.
A resolution to construct a commercial complex at the Yanaikulam grounds near Singarathope was one of the six resolutions that received approval from the corporation councillors. Although construction of the complex had commenced on a land of 32,417 sq ft land, the project had remained pending for nearly two decades owing to litigation. The corporation would include the project in their annual budgets numerous times with no success. However, the dispute was finally settled amicably and the resolution was passed.
According to a corporation official, the resolutions would be forwarded to the government for approval and a private consultant would be assigned to prepare project reports for the commercial complex as well as the other projects.
Besides, the corporation council also passed resolutions on subjects such as construction of a vehicle parking lot on Old Chathram campus near Holy Cross School and near Diamond Jubilee Campus opposite Gandhi market, construction of a modern slaughter house, shops for meat traders in Gandhi market and converting the composite yard into a green hillock in Ariyamangalam.
The move for constructing parking lots in two places was welcomed by many as it would provide congestion free traffic in both Singarathope and Gandhi market areas.
The modern goat slaughter house which had been pending for many years, would replace an 80-year-old existing one. It would be equipped with an effluent treatment plant (ETP) to refine waste water before allowing it into the under ground drainage (UGD). Previously, solid waste from the slaughter house caused hindrance in the UGD.
The new meat shops would replace the old setup and bring a new look to the entire area. As both retail and wholesale of fish was taking place at the fish market near Gandhi market, the corporation will embark on a move to construct a wholesale fish market in Anna Nagar to avoid congestion in the Gandhi market. The resolution for this project was passed in an urgent council meeting held on Thursday prior to the ordinary meeting. Most traders have welcomed the move.
In order to bring an end to the stink arising from the Ariyamangalam composite yard, the corporation passed a resolution to convert the yard into green hillocks. Garbage being dumped on the 44 acre land to a height of 30 feet would be compressed into a green hillock with a height of 5 feet in an area of 10 acres. However, there was also a demand from the public to dump the garbage into the abandoned stone-quarry pits in the Thuvakudi area in Trichy. When contacted, corporation commissioner VP Thandapani said "dumping the garbage into the stone-quarry pits would lead to ground water contamination. Hence they had decided to convert it into a green hillock."
