Plan to beautify Tirupur

Tirupur: Minister for State Highways M.P. Saminathan exhorted the different stakeholders involved in the development of Tirupur city to come forward with more creative contributions if the action plan conceptualised by the administration to beautify the area should fructify.

He made this appeal at a special meeting organised by the district administration involving officials and representatives of industrial associations/consumer organisations here on Saturday evening to deliberate the issues that confronts the beautification programmes planned for the city and its immediate suburbs.

One of the main subjects that evoked heated discussion was the project planned by the Corporation to revive the glory of River Noyyal passing through the city which was facing an ‘imminent death’ owing to garbage disposal and industrial effluent discharge into it.

A few heads of village panchayats that engulf the city and consumer organisations blamed the Corporation administration for its lackadaisical approach to the ongoing solid waste management project, which polluted River Noyyal to a great extent.

They added that similarly, Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board should have to be more sincere in its monitoring of industrial wastes into the river, failing which no action plan would be able to save Noyyal.

Corporation Commissioner R. Jayalakshmi said that Noyyal would be given a facelift by strengthening lining on both sides and landscaping its banks.

Tirupur MLA C. Govindasamy requested the Collector, C. Samayamorthy, to carry out a proper survey before implementing the road widening component in the beautification programme.

Collector C. Samayamoorthy instructed the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board to remove all electricity poles that cause hindrance to smooth traffic flow and replace the hundreds of badly damaged streetlight poles.
