CMDA official to go to Japan
Development of transport infrastructure in Chennai is
likely to figure prominently in discussions between Indian officials and
the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in Tokyo next week.
Chennai
Metropolitan Development Authority’s (CMDA) member secretary will be
part of the team of Indian officials visiting Japan next week. Projects
found to be viable are likely to receive JICA funding.
Chennai
is one of the cities likely to gain significantly from JICA funding. A
team of officials from JICA met with officials of CMDA last week, and
reviewed three infrastructure development projects in Madhavaram,
Karunakaracheri and Manjambakkam for investment.
JICA
is extending its assistance to contribute to stronger relations between
Japan and India. The Chennai-Bangalore Industrial Corridor project is
at a conceptual stage and Japan had expressed interest in extending
financial and technical support to it.
