Chennai:
Here’s good news for residents of Tambaram. The Muthurangam park that
was under renovation for over five months will soon be opened to the
public. Minister for animal husbandry T.K.M Chinnayya and Tambaram
municipality chairman M. Karikalan recently inspected the works at the
park and the chairman informed that the park would be opened in a
month’s time.
As many
as 115 lamp posts are being erected and 15 new benches are being
provided. “The lamp posts will be controlled by municipality workers
through mobile GPRS and timer system. Around 30 workers are working
daily to finish the work within the deadline.
We
are yet to fix the RO purifier. Art works have been done on the walls
of the park so that the public will not make the walls untidy,” said
municipality commissioner S. Sivasubramanian. The three-acre park is
renovated at an estimated cost of Rs78 lakh.
The
government sanctioned Rs 30 lakh and the Tambaram municipality spent
the remaining amount. Hindu Mission Hospital will carry out the
maintenance work and the park will be open from 5 am to 9 pm. A
long-time resident of Tambaram, R. Sivachandran said, “We are yet to
visit the park. But, we came to know that the paintings inside the park
are very attractive.”
