With widening of Tiruchi-Chidambaram National Highway making substantial progress in recent months, heritage enthusiasts and residents of Gangaikondacholapuram have called for construction of a by-pass around the town to protect the Brihadisvara Temple, a world heritage monument, from possible hazards caused by movement of heavy vehicles close to the structure.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
