: Coimbatore Corporation has permitted a private company to build a new road and allowed non-government organisation and residents’ welfare association to run waste processing plants.
The road that the private company would develop was perhaps the first such attempt by the civic body, said officials and pointed out that the Corporation allowed the company’s proposal under the Namakku Name scheme.
Sowparnika Projects and Infrastructure would develop the 1.48km mud track that runs adjacent to the railway track from near G.N. Mills to Nallampalayam Road at ₹ 57 lakh. The Corporation had given the go-ahead to the company while asking it to build the road as per the Indian Road Congress guideline, under its engineers’ supervision and not place advertisement boards or take any steps related thereto without its permission.

Over the decades, the Anglo-Indian Grand Christmas Ball in Chennai has stepped into many venues, from Railway enclaves to private halls. It has left an indelible mark on some of these venues, Faiz Mahal and Shiraz Hall, both in Egmore, counted among them. This Christmas Day (December 25), Faiz Mahal is playing host to yet another Grand Christmas Ball. The soiree is organised by Anglo-Indians but by no means restricted to them. In these times of dwindling Anglo-Indian presence even in enclaves with a distinctive Anglo-Indian flavour, this event signifies an effort to preserve a cultural tradition that has enriched Chennai
