Chamber seeks MRTS in Kovai

The local chapter of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry today appealed to Chief Minister K Palaniswami to take steps for a Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) in the city to help ease traffic congestion.

It urged him to take steps for a feasibility survey for the MRTS.
Seeking speedy completion of Western Bypass Road, which had already been sanctioned by the government, Chamber President, Vanitha Mohan said construction of flyovers, subways, multi-level parking facility, truck terminals, ring roads facilities which are covered in Smart City project, should also be taken up.

The chamber also appealed for formation of a Greater Coimbatore Development Authority and early revision of Master Plan considering the present and future needs.
It also pressed for early settlement of funds to land-owners towards compensation for acquisition of land for the airport expansion.
