PERAMBALUR, JAN.17 . The Government has sanctioned Rs.2.44 crores for re-laying highway roads to a cumulative stretch of 17.5 km in Perambalur district during the current year.

In all, seven works will be taken up — four in T.Pazhuvur block, one each in the Jayamkondam, Ariyalur and Andimadam blocks.

The highway roads to a total stretch of about 10 km will be re-laid in the T.Pazhuvur block on an outlay of Rs.1.41 crores. A sum of Rs.64.65 lakhs has been sanctioned for repairing the TV Road- Vathikudikadu sector, Rs.52 lakhs for the Sripuranthan Suthamalli-Kasankottai sector, Rs.14.9 lakhs for the Sripuranthan-Anaikudi sector and Rs.9.10 lakhs for the T.Pazhuvur-Koothankudi sector.

The district administration had identified 64 hectares in 15 villages on the national highway, of which 26 hectares had been acquired in eight villages, including Peraiyur, Thevaiyur, Valikandapuram, Nochiyam and Elambalur, he said.

The Collector said the trauma care unit would be started in the Government Headquarters Hospital here shortly.
