TIRUCHY: In the state budget for 2024-25, the government on Monday allotted `345 crore for setting up a Tidel Park and announced plans to establish an olympic academy in the district. However, Tiruchy’s demand for metro rail service has once again been ignored, say residents.
In the previous budget, the government announced metro rail project for Coimbatore and Madurai. A detailed project report for metro rail in both these cities has been sent to the Union government for approval on equity sharing basis. Once the approval is obtained, the work will commence, state Finance Minister Thangam Thenarasu said in his budget speech on Monday.
