What the government approved
The Housing and Urban Development (SC 2-1) Department sanctioned Rs.14,48,27,810 to the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board from the State Infrastructure and Amenities Fund. The approved works support the Nethajipuram housing scheme at Kulathupalayam in Coimbatore District.
The sanction covers:

- Construction of one reinforced cement concrete bridge with a retaining wall.
- Provision of street lights.
- Greening along the road stretch and its maintenance within the sanctioned amount.
Why the road was proposed
The Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board was constructing 720 tenements at Nethajipuram under the Affordable Housing Programme of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Housing for All. The housing site covers 2.47 hectares and is located about 4 kilometres from Coimbatore to Palakkad Road.
The tenements were intended to resettle slum families living in objectionable locations around Kulathupalayam. The existing approach road was described as narrow, curved and bordered by houses. The Director of Town and Country Planning reported that it would not accommodate vehicle movement after resettlement and could lead to road accidents.
Local residents had also requested a separate approach road along Sengulam tank bund. Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation prepared the detailed project report but informed the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board that it could not fund the project because of its financial position.
