CHENNAI: The Chennai Corporation on Thursday commenced re-laying work on 387 km of 1,320 roads in the city. Inaugurating the work, Deputy Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said that the work will be completed in 100 days.

Under the scheme, 146 of 266 bus route roads would be covered. The details of the re-laying work would be available online in the Corporation website – www.chennaicorporation.gov.in. The re-laying works which were already finalised and stopped on account of rain have also commenced, at a cost of Rs.37 crore.
