Yatri Nivas at Srirangam opened
A Yatri Nivas built on the banks of the Coleroon at
Srirangam was declared open by Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Monday.
She also commissioned a check-dam across the Cauvery and other
development projects executed at a total investment of Rs.193.14 crore
in her constituency.
The Chief Minister announced the
establishment of a centralised commercial complex for fruits and
flowers at Kallikudi because of the space constraints and traffic
congestion at Gandhi Market in the city.
The complex
would house a 2,000-tonne-capacity cold storage, a processing area and
1,000 shops. She laid the foundation for the complex and kick-started
1,654 other works in the Srirangam constituency, sanctioned at a total
cost of Rs.171.27 crore.
The Yatri Nivas, built at a
cost of Rs.47.09 crore on 6.40 acres at Panchakarai behind the Sri
Ranganathaswamy Temple, can accommodate 1,000 devotees. “It will benefit
devotees visiting not only the Srirangam temple but also the
Thiruvanaikovil and Samayapuram temples. It has all modern amenities,”
Ms. Jayalalithaa said.
The check-dam at
Kambarasampettai, constructed at a cost of Rs.32 crore, would help to
improve the groundwater table at and around Srirangam, she said. New
buildings for the Horticultural College and Research Institute for Women
at Navalur Kuttapattu, an integrated banana commercial complex with
cold storage at Thiruchendurai, a 110/11-KV power sub-station at
Thiruvanaikovil and an upgraded Primary Health Centre at Pettavaithalai
were among the other major projects inaugurated by Ms. Jayalalithaa.
Modern surgical and diagnostic equipment installed at the Srirangam
Government Hospital were also dedicated to the people.
The
Chief Minister laid the foundation for a combined drinking water supply
scheme for 212 rural habitations in the Andhanallur, Manikandam and
Manapparai unions, sanctioned at a cost of Rs.48.67 crore. The scheme,
to be commissioned by March next, will supply 6.80 million litres of
water a day to a population of 1.37 lakhs.
She distributed welfare assistance worth Rs.63.49 lakhs to 25,875 beneficiaries.
Ms.
Jayalalithaa said she had laid the foundation for 5,200 works, worth
Rs.2,185 crore, in the Srirangam constituency during her previous four
visits.
