Chief Minister M.K. Stalin announces ₹5.40 crore for road repairs in Thoothukudi district, addressing flood damages and welfare measures.
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Sunday said that Manjolai Road in Thoothukudi district would soon be relaid at a cost of ₹5.40 crore.
Speaking at a public meeting to disburse welfare measures to beneficiaries, he said the State government had immediately implemented temporary measures after the severe floods in Thoothukudi and Tirunelveli about a month ago. Officials prepared detailed estimates after carrying out survey of the affected areas.
Manjolai, which suffered the maximum damage during the floods, would be given due attention. The first and foremost focus would be on relaying roads, providing potable water sources as they were damaged completely and installing new electric poles.
The inspections revealed damages in at least 288 spots, including dams and channels in Thoothukudi district, that had to be set right. For this, the government spent ₹66.45 crore as a temporary measure and for permanent remedy, ₹145.58 crore more was required.
In Tirunelveli district, there were 802 places that were damaged. The district administration had already spent ₹27.68 crore and ₹15.93 crore more was needed for permanent solution.
The State government had attracted huge investments and Thoothukudi district would soon witness a major share, Mr Stalin said and added that when the government provided excellent education, the children would also be given right jobs in their home towns.
In Tirunelveli, Gangaikondan was attracting major players as the State government had provided ample infrastructure.
