Trichy corpn to relay 115 km of damaged roads at Rs 80 crore
Trichy: The Trichy Corporation council was informed on Friday that 115 km of damaged roads across five zones will be relaid at a cost of Rs 80 crore in two phases. The roads were damaged due to ongoing underground drainage (UGD) and drinking water projects.
Some stretches will also get new stormwater drains, and the work is expected to be completed before the northeast monsoon in October 2025.
DMK councillor V Porkodi of Ward 63 raised concerns over incomplete UGD work in her ward and the poor condition of roads. In response, Mayor Mu Anbalagan said Rs 67.9 crore had already been sanctioned under various schemes—including the Tamil Nadu Urban Road Infrastructure Project (TURIP) and the Central Finance Commission (CFC)—to relay 107 km of roads.
"A tender has been floated, and construction will be completed in two months," he said.
An additional Rs 12 crore has been allotted to lay 8 km of roads with stormwater drains under a separate phase.
Of the 50 resolutions passed in the council meeting, a proposal to outsource maintenance of the Oyamari and Karumandapam crematoriums drew opposition from a section of councillors, including the CPM. The mayor said he would consider their demand to retain control over the crematoriums.

ED conducts raids in Delhi, Raj, Gujarat in ₹2,700 cr money laundering case involving real estate scheme
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched a massive crackdown on Thursday in connection with a Rs 2,700 crore money laundering case involving a real estate scheme. The ED conducted raids at approximately 24 locations across Delhi, Rajasthan and Gujarat. According to agency sources, the ongoing investigation is linked to a large-scale financial fraud related to a real estate scheme named Red Nexa Evergreen. In Rajasthan, ED teams carried out operations in cities including Jaipur, Jodhpur, Sikar, and Jhunjhunu. Simultaneous raids were also conducted in Ahmedabad (Gujarat) and parts of Delhi. The crackdown is being executed under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The Red Nexa Evergreen project reportedly lured investors with promises of high returns or property allocations — either flats, land, or premium rates after a fixed tenure. Allegations suggest that a significant number of investors were duped in the process. Rajasthan Police had earlier registered an FIR against multiple individuals involved in the fraudulent scheme. The ED's investigation aims to uncover the financial trail and identify key beneficiaries of the scam. More details are expected to emerge as the search operations continue. Around 24 places are being raided in Rajasthan and Gujarat and Delhi. The investors in this project were lured to invest their money till a particular time and told that they can get plots and flats in return for their investments. However investors were duped as none of the promises were allegedly fulfilled. In the end the frustrated investors filed many FIRs in this regard. The raids have been conducted keeping money laundering in mind, said officials. Once the search operation is done, action will be taken against those involved in the fraud. Rajasthan police were acting in the matter till now, however now that the ED has come into the picture, fresh facts are expected to come out soon in the case, said sources.
