Tiruchy Corps Plan Awaiting Approval

26 Jun 2024 CW Team

The Tiruchy Corps' ambitious plan to take over the maintenance of state highway roads in Tamil Nadu is currently awaiting approval from the Department of Highways. The proposal, which aims to enhance road quality and safety, has not yet received the necessary nod, delaying the potential benefits for road users.

The Tiruchy Corps, a division of the Indian Army, has proposed to assume the responsibility for maintaining state highway roads in Tamil Nadu. This initiative is part of a broader effort to leverage the Corps' expertise in infrastructure management and enhance the overall quality and safety of these crucial transport routes. The proposal outlines a comprehensive plan for regular maintenance, timely repairs, and systematic upgrades to the road network.

Despite the detailed planning and potential benefits, the proposal has hit a bureaucratic roadblock. The Department of Highways has yet to give the green light, causing a delay in the implementation. The approval process involves multiple layers of scrutiny and coordination between various government agencies, which has contributed to the hold-up.
