Title : Need to retain the original plan for construction of new ring road at NH 45 B and NH 67 in Tiruchirapalli Parliamentary Constituency in Tamil Nadu.
SHRI P. KUMAR (TIRUCHIRAPPALLI): Tiruchirapalli Constituency in Tamil Nadu consists of remote villages. People of these villages are depending upon the Kallikudi and Thayanur water resources for their drinking and irrigation purposes. Now, a proposal for the formation of new ring road is approved by the National Highway Authority of India at NH 45 B, NH 67 between Panjapur and Jeeyapuram where Kallikudi and Thayanur tanks are located. The work has already commenced without affecting the water sources. Now I have come to understand that the laying of the ring road is to be modified which will affect the water sources of the villages. I appeal to the Government through this August House not to modify the original plan in order to save the water sources of the poor village folks of my constituency and action be taken for the early completion of the ring road.
