Arches for Samayapuram & Vayalur temples in Tiruchy delayed
TIRUCHY: Questioning the delay in construction of a new entrance arch despite its groundbreaking ceremony having been held months ago, devotees and local residents seek the HR&CE department to respect visitors' sentiments and immediately complete the 'symbolic gateway' to the Mariamman temple in Samayapuram. A similar plea has been placed in regard to the Subramanya Swamy temple in Vayalur, whose entrance arch collapsed while under construction in February this year. The Mariamman temple, located near the Tiruchy-Chennai NH, had an entrance arch featuring carved idols of the principal deity of Mariamman, besides that of Murugan and Ganesha, installed near the Samayapuram four-road junction. The structure of 40 years, however, suffered damage after a truck en route to Manachanallur via the Samayapuram service road rammed into its base on August 3, 2024. The temple authorities inspected the site and brought down the entire structure to avoid danger to the public. Following this, a new arch was planned to be constructed, and a groundbreaking ceremony was held. No work, however, was carried since. Pointing out a year having nearly passed since the old arch was brought down, R Chellappan, a shopkeeper, said, 'Every morning, before opening my shop, I offered prayers at the arch. Further, for many truck drivers and vehicles heading to other districts, it was a sacred starting point. We miss it deeply.' Devotees also point to the Subramanya Swamy temple in Kumaravayalur being in a similar situation. As part of a Rs 4-crore renovation project, a 25-foot-high and 40-foot-wide decorative entrance arch was being constructed on the Vayalur-Adavathur road to replace an ageing one at the Chola-period temple. On February 6, 2025, the new arch, however, suddenly collapsed. R Kalaiselvan, a resident of Vasan Nagar and a frequent visitor to the Vayalur temple, said, 'The arch served as a landmark. Without it, many first-time visitors miss the turn to the temple and have to either enquire their way to it or return after passing it. It is more than just architecture and is part of the temple's identity. Months have passed but nothing has been done. The long delay in reconstruction shows neglect of our cultural heritage.' When contacted, an HR&CE official in Tiruchy told TNIE, 'We are looking for a new donor [to reconstruct the entrance arch] to the Vayalur temple. At Samayapuram, the arch base work has begun but it has been paused due to the Aadi footfall. Work will resume and be completed soon.'

Late IRS officer leaves assets worth Rs 3.66 crore to Tirupati temple trust: ‘He had deep faith and devotion'
Property and money worth Rs 3.66 crore, which belonged to the late YVSS Bhaskar Rao, who retired as an IRS officer, were donated to the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple at Tirumala on Thursday. Rao's family said it was his wish that the property and fixed deposits be given to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), which manages the temple. 'He had deep faith and devotion towards Sri Venkateswara Swamy. He bequeathed a residential property worth Rs 3 crore and a cash donation of Rs 66 lakh to TTD through his will,' officials said. The donated property is a 3,500-square-foot building named 'Ananda Nilayam', located in Vanasthalipuram on the outskirts of Hyderabad. Rao had said in his will that the TTD should use it for the purposes of conducting spiritual activities. The cash donation of Rs 66 lakh from his bank accounts is to be distributed among various TTD trusts, including Rs 36 lakh to Sri Venkateswara Annaprasadam Trust, and Rs 6 lakh each to the Sri Venkateswara Sarva Sreyas Trust, Veda Parirakshana Trust, Go Samrakshana Trust, Vidyadana Trust, and SRIVANI Trust. Fulfilling his last wish, trustees M Devaraj Reddy, V Satyanarayana, and B Lokanath handed over the property documents and cheques related to different trust donations to TTD Additional EO, C Venkaiah Chowdary, on Thursday at Ranganayakula Mandapam. Later, the Additional EO felicitated the trustees and lauded their efforts in fulfilling the wishes of Bhaskar Rao.

Green Tape: Tree-Cutting Nod Holds Up Major Infra Projects
New Delhi: Several important infrastructure projects are facing delays due to permissions pending for tree felling and transplantation. According to details, a copy of which is with TOI, approximately 500 trees need to be either transplanted or felled for at least seven of these projects. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The affected works include the Barapullah elevated corridor Phase III, the sports university at Ghevra village, Nand Nagri flyover, Okhla campus of GB Pant Engineering College and Polytechnic, hospital at Raghubir Nagar and a double-decker viaduct at Bhajanpura. The Barapullah Phase III has been marred by persistent setbacks since construction began in 2015 and of which 690 metres remain to be built between Sarai Kale Khan and Mayur Vihar. Initially estimated at Rs 964 crore, the project's cost has now escalated to Rs 1,330 crore. At a recent PWD meeting, it was revealed that the forest department had forwarded the permission application to the Central Empowered Committee (CEC), which works under the Supreme Court, and CEC had directed the site to be re-surveyed in the presence of officials from the forest department and details like the trees' geo-locations, species and girth at breast height submitted. The re-survey has revised details of 333 trees within the alignment of the corridor. The Nand Nagri flyover, meant to be a link between UP's Ghaziabad and Wazirabad in Delhi via Signature Bridge, is only 70% done when it should have been completed by July last year. The latest development is that the flyover has received a special area exemption under the Delhi Preservation of Trees Act, enabling a tree officer to make the final decision on the felling or transplantation of trees falling in the project site. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The meeting also discussed the sports university to be built on 79 acres in Ghevra village. A tree survey conducted by the consultant found that 3,212 trees of the around 9,000 trees on the plot need to be chopped down and 88 transplanted. The meeting record says, "PWD is requested to ask the sports university official to provide land for compensatory plantation. Forest department and environment department clearance awaited. " Sources confided that the project could be put on the back burner. The GB Pant Engineering College and Polytechnic Okhla Campus is also delayed due to the required revalidation of tree-cutting permission plus lack of funds. Trees have also hit the setting up of a semi-permanent or temporary ICU hospital at Raghubir Nagar. Only 50% of the project has been finished. The double-decker viaduct on the Maujpur-Majlis Park metro corridor, a joint venture between PWD and DMRC, is almost ready. However, the ramp connecting the road with the flyover is yet to be built for lack of permission to chop down trees. Delhi govt recently notified new SOPs for tree felling and transplantation under the Delhi Preservation of Trees Act. Unlike earlier, it is now mandatory for CEC to review all requests for felling 50 or more trees.
