TRICHY: Projects being undertaken by the Trichy corporation under the smart cities mission programme are set to be delayed further, as the revised deadline has not been met. Only 70% to 90% of the construction work has been completed, according to officials.
Puthur air-conditioned mall, Purathana park, multi-level car parking (MLCP) on Kaliammankoil street and another MLCP on West Boulevard Road were among the projects delayed. May 2023 was set as the revised deadline.
The Puthur mall is progressing at the slowest pace among the 83 projects. Sources said that only 70% work was completed. The mall was supposed to be completed by December 2021, however, Covid-19 pandemic delayed the work.
Meanwhile, around 95% work for the Purathana park on Butterworth Road was completed. The park being developed at 4 crore is awaiting commissioning since June 2022, and is set to be delayed further.
The MLCP project on West Boulevard Road has made some progress and may open to the public in a month. “Electrical work is over. Installation of lifts and pavement construction work are progressing. The facility will be ready in a month,” a corporation official said.
Work on the other MLCP near the Chathiram bus stand has witnessed 90% completion. The MLCP, which comes with a minor vegetable market is likely to take two months for commissioning. Sources said that except for the Puthur mall, the remaining projects will be commissioned soon.
