On Saturday, Tiruchi MP Durai Vaiko conducted a review meeting regarding the construction of overbridges in Pudukottai district, attended by Collector Aruna and senior officials. The overbridges at Karuvepilan and Thiruvapur have been long-standing demands from the local populace. Vaiko highlighted that the Karuvepilan overbridge, which falls under the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), is part of the Tiruchi-Karaikudi Highway project. Officials indicated that the Land Plan Schedule would now be submitted to the Revenue Department by the end of June 2026, following delays attributed to the recent Assembly elections. The anticipated start date for construction is March 2028. Regarding the Thiruvapur overbridge, land acquisition was initially expected to be completed within two months, but disputes among landowners over compensation have caused delays. Officials assured that this work would be finalized by August 2026. Vaiko's meeting aimed to ensure commitments made in previous discussions are met, emphasizing the importance of these infrastructure projects for the community.
