Survey for Land Acquisition for Coimbatore Metro to Begin Soon

The survey for land acquisition for the Coimbatore Metro Rail project will commence shortly, said Coimbatore Corporation Commissioner M Sivaguru Prabakaran after a coordination meeting held with representatives from Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL), the National Highways Department, TNEB, the Local Planning Authority, and the Survey Department. The meeting focused on land acquisition, station locations, and route alignment. CMRL plans to establish its project office within the corporation office campus. Officials are also considering a suitable location on Dr Nanjappa Road. The commissioner said they requested CMRL officials be deputed for the project in Coimbatore. This move will ensure better coordination between departments. The corporation has asked CMRL to bear the cost of the survey for land acquisition. "CMRL will deposit the required amount with the corporation. Once the funds are received, we will conduct the survey. The survey will involve mapping the land, identifying utilities, and planning for utility relocation. After the survey, officials will determine the land required for the project," he said. CMRL officials inspected the Gandhipuram and Ukkadam bus stands. The inspection covered areas along the proposed metro rail route. The commissioner said the metro route alignment would not disrupt the Gandhipuram bus stand. However, plans for the proposed new Ukkadam Bus Stand will require adjustments. The new bus stand will be integrated with the metro rail project, he added. CMRL plans to acquire land along Avinashi Road and the Coimbatore-Sathyamangalam Road in March. This acquisition is part of the first phase of the metro rail project. The metro rail track in this phase will cover a total length of 34.8km. The first phase includes two corridors. Corridor-I will connect Ukkadam Bus Stand to Neelambur Integrated Station via the airport, covering 20.4km. Corridor-II will link Coimbatore Railway Junction to Valiyampalayam Pirivu, spanning 14.4km.
