Chennai,Oct 29:
Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay is scheduled to visit Pudukkottai on November 2 to inaugurate a newly constructed bus stand and an indoor sports stadium, distribute welfare assistance to beneficiaries and meet the public through a proposed roadshow.
The district administration and police have stepped up preparations for the Chief Minister’s visit, with officials inspecting key venues and security arrangements.
The new bus stand on Sathyamoorthy Road in Pudukkottai has been constructed at a cost of around ₹19 crore, with modern facilities for commuters. The project replaces the town’s nearly 40-year-old bus stand. An indoor sports stadium has also been constructed on the district sports complex premises and is ready for inauguration.
Vijay is expected to inaugurate both facilities and distribute welfare assistance to eligible beneficiaries during the government function.
According to the proposed itinerary, the Chief Minister will travel from Chennai to Tiruchirappalli by a special aircraft and proceed to Pudukkottai by helicopter or road. A helipad at the Armed Reserve Police grounds in Pudukkottai has been inspected by district officials as part of the preparations.
A roadshow covering around 1.5 km through important streets in Pudukkottai is also being planned.
