Discussions are on with land owners for making a second road to the hill-top Tiruttani temple, one of the six important shrines of Lord Muruga, in Tiruvallur district.
Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister P. K. Sekarbabu said out of 18 private land owners, 15 had agreed to part with their lands. “We are holding discussions with the remaining persons. Applications have been submitted to the forest department for its approval and alternative land have been identified,” he said.
The proposed road would be of 2 km length and the ghat section of the road that runs to 1.2 km length would be of two lanes’ width and the rest would be 16 mt wide. The detailed project report for the road is getting ready, Mr. Sekarbabu added.
