The three-day exhibition was inaugurated by Minister for Municipal Administration K.N. Nehru in the presence of Mayor M. Anbazhagan, Corporation Commissioner R. Vaithinathan and other senior officials on the Corporation office premises here on Friday.
The exhibition highlights the civic body's accomplishments and development of ongoing infrastructure projects.
