West Madurai joins the development bandwagon

The projects, while welcome, have thrown everyday life out of gear
Madurai is going through a period of massive upheaval ever since various works around Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple and Periyar bus stand renovation started a few months ago under Smart Cities Mission.
Simultaneously, work on the eight-km elevated corridor work on New Natham Road and broad roads on both banks of the Vaigai also started two years ago. Work on the projects are going on day and night, especially after relaxation of lockdown norms.
