A team of technocrats and engineers from various parts of the country are on a two-day exposure visit to Karur to inspect the adoption of a few new and green technologies in laying roads under the Prime Minister’s Rural Roads Scheme (PMGSY-Phase III) in the district.
The team were on a visit to the district to inspect the adoption of technologies such as cement stabilisation and use of RBI Grade- 81soil stabilizer, said to be a cost effective and environment friendly pavement material. The use of cement stabilisation technology reduces the use of blue metal considerably, officials said.
District Collector K. P. Karthikeyan inspected the areas around the Sorimuthu Ayyanar Temple inside the Kalakkad – Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve on Thursday evening as this shrine would attract thousands of devotees from the southern districts for the Aadi Amavasai festival to be celebrated in August .
