A family in Tiruppur has donated prime land with an estimated market value of ₹10 crore to the City Corporation for carrying out a crucial road project to bring down congestion of vehicular traffic in Tiruppur city, much to the relief of the local body.
The City Corporation had, under Smart City Mission, planned to lay an asphalt road along the southern embankment of Noyyal river from Nataraj Theatre Road to Aruvuthirukovil in Karuvampalayam as the only way to address the problem of burgeoning traffic.
The 20 cents of land donated by the family of Nataraj, known for philanthropy since the days of freedom movement, has accorded a significant thrust to the civic body to carry out the road project, Mayor N. Dinesh Kumar said.
