Tiruchi Corporation Expansion: Merging Nearby Villages
The Tiruchi Corporation is on the verge of a major expansion as the Tamil Nadu government plans to merge several nearby villages into the city. This initiative aims to enhance urban development, increase geographic coverage, and improve administrative efficiency.
Key Points of the Expansion
- Merger of 24 Village Panchayats: The expansion involves integrating 24 village panchayats into the Tiruchi Corporation.
- Exclusion and Additions: Two panchayats (Thayanur and Adavathur) have been excluded due to local opposition, but Thirumalaisamudram and Thoraikudi are being considered for inclusion.
- Increase in Wards: The number of wards in the Tiruchi Corporation will rise from 65 to 100.
- Land Area and Population Growth: The city’s area will expand from 167.2 sq km to over 300 sq km, with a population increase from 10.2 lakh to over 11.5 lakh.
- Administrative Upgrades: A new main office building for the Tiruchi Corporation, costing Rs 40 crore, is planned to accommodate the expanded administration.
Reactions and Concerns
While the expansion is expected to bring improved infrastructure and services, some residents worry about potential issues like traffic congestion and urban overcrowding. The Tiruchi Corporation has assured residents of measures to address these challenges and ensure a smooth transition for the merged areas.
Next Steps
The Tamil Nadu government’s formal order is awaited, following which the integration process will commence. The expansion is expected to significantly impact Tiruchi’s urban landscape and development trajectory.
