Summary:
Trichy: The Trichy Corporation has started repair works on a section of the footpath near the government hospital here. Gradually, damaged pedestrian platforms in other parts of the city would be repaired, the civic body said.Although commuters have been encouraged to opt for environment-friendly modes, infrastructure such as footpath and bicycle tracks are amiss in the city. Such dangers should also be addressed,” said P Vasanth, a resident of Warners road. Since the existing footpaths are either damaged with metal rods jutting out or encroached by commercial establishments, a majority of the pedestrians in the city are seen walking on the roads.“Metal bars form the broken slabs are invisible at night. TrichyCorporation sources said that the pedestrian platforms opposite the Trichy Government Hospital are being renovated for the time being, and added that Thennur high road stretch would be soon taken up in the coming phases..
