Municipality approves plans to construct subways
Karur municipality on Tuesday stamped its approval on plans to construct subways at Kulathupalayam and Pasupathypalayam. The Kulathupalayam subway is estimated to cost Rs. 3.80 crore and the Pasupathypalayam subway Rs. 2.80 crore.
As for the Kulathupalayam plan, it was pointed out to the State government that the public were finding it difficult to cross the wall raised by the railways adjacent to the track in the area. Since accidents occurred in the region, people were demanding a subway to help them access the other side of the railway track.
With a plan for construction of a subway at an estimated cost of Rs. 3.80 crore, Karur municipal chairman on June 25 last had written to the Commissioner for Municipal Administration seeking sanction of funds for the subway. Earlier, as soon as the council assembled, women councillors tied rakhi to some of their male counterparts.
