Land plan schedule submitted for acquiring private lands for Phase III of link road
Tiruchi Corporation has submitted to the district administration the land plan schedule for acquiring private lands to initiate work on Phase III of the 9.9-km link road from Panjapur to Kudamuriti River.
The link road will be developed along the banks of the Koraiyar and the Kudamuriti, connecting the Integrated Bus Terminus in Panjapur with several residential areas of the city.
The project will be executed by Tiruchi Corporation in three packages: Panjapur to Karumandapam for 2 km at ₹81.72 crore, Woraiyur to Kudamurutti bridge for 2.150 km at ₹68 crore, and from Karumandapam to Woraiyur for 5.75 km at ₹182 crore. The entire project is expected to cost around ₹331.72 crore.
Of the three phases, phase III, the road between Karumandapam to Woraiyur, requires around 20 acres of land acquisition. Earlier, only five acres of land were required for the new road. However, the civic body revised the plan to acquire additional land to construct flyovers with approach roads.
Phase III will be the longest passing road along the banks of the Koraiyar and Kudamurutti rivers. Since the road passes between key areas, an additional 15 acres of private land has been acquired. The road will have two lanes, and the additional land will be utilised to develop stormwater drains and elevated roads near Kuzhumayee Amman temple.
A detailed survey to measure the required land has been completed by the revenue authorities. The land plan schedule has been submitted to the district administration, and the evaluation process is underway. The civic body is considering multiple options to acquire the land, including negotiations and compensation under the Land Acquisition Act 2013.
'Funds for the project will be sourced soon, and additional funds will be required to offer compensation. Subsequently, tenders will be floated for the phase,' said a senior Corporation official.
Meanwhile, work on both phase I and II has commenced and is expected to be completed within 18 months from the date of commencement of work.

Erode Corporation to auction modern abattoir at Vairapalayam
The Corporation will soon auction the modern cow slaughterhouse, constructed at a cost of ₹75 lakh at Vairapalayam, and has outlined various guidelines for its operation and maintenance by the contractor. Established on a 10,500 sq ft site under the Infrastructure Gap Filling Fund 2016–17 in Zone I, the facility is intended to operate under the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) scheme for the slaughter of large animals (cows). The Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board has granted Consent to Operate, and the facility is now ready for use. Accordingly, the civic body has decided to invite public tenders or conduct an auction to identify a contractor to run the facility. The Corporation has stipulated several conditions for the operator. The contractor is permitted to charge only ₹100 per cow for slaughtering and is also required to serve meat shops within the Corporation limits. Slaughtering must be conducted strictly within the designated space on the premises, and waste must be disposed of within three hours. If the contractor fails to do so, Corporation workers will remove the waste and recover the charges from the operator. Slaughtering is permitted only between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., and again from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. It is prohibited on designated holidays such as Gandhi Jayanti and Mahavir Jayanti. The operator will bear the electricity charges and must ensure that the premises are properly cleaned, washed, and maintained. An official said that the agenda for the auction was tabled and approved at the council meeting held in May, and the auction process will begin shortly.

Garbage collection affected as contract workers continue protest in Coimbatore
Uncollected waste accumulated across multiple areas in the city on Friday as contract sanitary workers of Coimbatore Corporation continued their protest for the fifth consecutive day, disrupting regular waste collection and sanitation services in the city According to the Corporation, there are 3,442 contract sanitary workers and 525 contract drivers engaged through contractors. The civic body has stated that contract sanitation workers could be paid a maximum of ₹20,454 per month and that there was no provision to increase this amount. In a statement, the Corporation said the sanctioned net monthly salary was ₹16,000. An additional ₹1,250, compared to the previous year, was to be credited to workers' bank accounts directly by the contractor. A proposal had been sent to the Directorate of Municipal Administration seeking approval for any further increase in wages discussed during negotiations. The total monthly package includes deductions for Provident Fund (PF) and Employees' State Insurance (ESI). Of the total ₹3,750, the employer's PF contribution is ₹1,950 and the employee's ₹1,800. For ESI, the employer contributes ₹572 and the employee ₹132. These contributions are to be managed and deposited by the contractor. The Corporation also stated that salary slips would be issued by the 20th of each month. Uniforms, safety kits, reflective jackets, and gloves would be distributed. Camps would be held across wards to raise awareness among workers about PF and ESI benefits. A similar salary proposal was under consideration for Domestic Breeding Checkers (DBC). While some workers returned to duty on Friday after accepting the Corporation's terms, others continued to demand a monthly salary of ₹23,000, rejecting the ₹20,454 offered. Over 200 workers assembled at the Collectorate to press their demand and were subsequently detained by the police. 'Nearly 90% of the workers resumed duty today. We have begun clearing over 1,800 tonnes of mixed waste that had accumulated over the last four days. Segregation is under way at the Vellalore dump yard. We will continue discussions with the remaining workers who have not yet returned,' said Corporation Commissioner M. Sivaguru Prabakaran.
