Cabinet clears ₹1,853 crore Tamil Nadu highway project under HAM
The 46.6-kilometre four-lane project between Paramakudi and Ramanathapuram will reduce travel woes between Madurai, Paramakudi, Ramanathapuram, Mandapam, Rameshwaram and Dhanushkodi – the travel is dependent on the existing two-lane National Highway 87 (NH-87) and associated state highways, which experience significant congestion due to high traffic volumes, especially in densely populated stretches and key towns along the corridor.
'To address these challenges, the project will upgrade approximately 46.7 km of NH-87 from Paramakudi to Ramanathapuram to a four-lane configuration. This will decongest the existing corridor, improve safety, and cater to the mobility needs of rapidly growing towns such as Paramakudi, Sathirakudi, Achundanvayal and Ramanathapuram,' the Cabinet said in a statement.
According to the Cabinet, the Paramakudi–Ramanathapuram section will play a pivotal role in regional economic growth by strengthening connectivity between major religious and economic centres.
This will boost tourism to Rameshwaram and Dhanushkodi, and open new avenues for trade and industrial development. 'The project will also generate approximately 840,000 person-days of direct and 1 million person-days of indirect employment, and will open new avenues of growth, development and prosperity in surrounding regions,' it said.
The corridor has an average daily traffic of 12,700 passenger car units.
The civil cost of the project is Rs 997 crore and the land acquisition cost is Rs 340 crore.

Chennai earns NGT's ire over menace of multi-layered plastic
CHENNAI: The southern bench of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has pulled up metropolitan local bodies in Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi, and Andhra Pradesh government for failing to execute its order to phase out non-recyclable multi-layered plastic (MLP) waste, despite a clear directive issued nearly two years ago. In a stern warning issued last week, a bench of Justice Pushpa Satyanarayana and expert member K Satyagopal said that if action taken reports are not submitted by the next hearing on August 14, each party would have to pay Rs 20,000 to file their reports. 'If the state has not moved an inch in complying with the order, heavy penalties will follow,' the tribunal said. The warning came in response to an execution application filed by environmental activist Antony Clement Rubin, seeking enforcement of the tribunal's August 2023 order.
