Smart tourism projects still stuck in Trichy

Residents of Trichy hope that at least 2020 will be a better year for Trichy’s development. 2019 has been a mixed bag for the city residents in terms of infrastructure development.

 

Although the Trichy Corporation has been able to initiate some projects under the Smart City Mission, it has not been able to make much development on certain long-pending proposals including establishment of an integrated bus stand. Given the stiff resistance from traders, the city has also not been able to get the wholesale traders of Gandhi Market shifted to the city outskirts.

 

The proposal of establishing an integrated bus stand in the city has failed to make any substantial progress even after Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami made a commitment that Trichy would get the facility soon. The CM had announced in the city that the bus stand would be established at Kottapattu. But the suitability of the location was questioned by many and the site was rejected.

 

“The city sorely misses an integrated bus stand. We hope steps will be initiated to establish one in 2020,” said M.A. Aleem, senior neurologist in the city and member of Trichy District Welfare Committee. He lists the expansion of the Trichy airport runway, better air and rail connectivity, new tourism attraction like a theme park and winch for the Rockfort and an air ambulance service among others.
