TIRUCHI Laying of underground drainage mains, under the phase-II of UGD project, along Tiruchi-Thanjavur highway, is yet to take off as the Tiruchi City Corporation is awaiting the nod from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The project is being implemented at a cost of ₹ 344 crore under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUIT). To complete the works as early as possible the project was divided into three packages. The work of first package was flagged off in July 2018. Other two packages were started one after another. The works are being taken up simultaneously in different areas of the city.
