The development of the Cauvery riverfront at Karungalpalayam, Tamil Nadu, is pending approval from the state government following the Assembly election results scheduled for May 4, 2026. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin announced this initiative during a visit to Pollachi in Coimbatore district on March 13, 2024. The project aims to enhance the riverfront and includes plans for effluent treatment facilities to prevent sewage discharge into the Cauvery River. However, treatment plants will not be part of this project due to a separate proposal already submitted for the Underground Sewerage Scheme (UGSS), which aims to cover remaining areas in need of sewage management.
