G.O. (D) No. 142, Sanganoor Pallam Development Project, 2025
The Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MA.NA.4) Department issued G.O. (D) No. 142 dated 19 March 2025, permitting Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation to use ₹3.12 crore in savings from the Sanganoor Pallam development project for the dedicated Valankulam surplus water canal project. The funding will support completion of the remaining 265 metres of canal on Trichy Road and restoration of the road damaged during drainage construction.
What the government has approved
G.O. (D) No. 142 dated 19 March 2025 permits Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation to transfer ₹3.12 crore from savings available under the Sanganoor Pallam development project. The money will be used for the dedicated canal intended to carry surplus water from Valankulam, along Trichy Road, into Sanganoor Pallam.
The transferred amount comes from the ₹3.50 crore expected to remain as savings in the Infrastructure and Amenities Fund project for 2020 to 2021. It will be used for the canal project funded under the Infrastructure and Amenities Fund schemes for 2021 to 2022 and 2022 to 2023.
Projects and works covered
The Sanganoor Pallam development project covers the stretch from Mettupalayam Road to Sathy Road in Coimbatore. Administrative approval had been given for ₹49 crore, and expenditure was estimated at about ₹46 crore, leaving expected savings of ₹3.50 crore.
The Valankulam surplus water canal project has the following position:
- Total approved estimate is ₹9 crore.
- Total canal length is 1,730 metres.
- Work has been completed for 1,465 metres.
- The remaining canal length is 265 metres.
- An additional ₹3.12 crore is required to complete the work and restore the affected road.
Why additional funding is required
The canal was initially planned along the side of Trichy Road beside the existing storm water drain. Drinking water pipes, underground sewer pipes, electricity cables and other cables made construction at the roadside impractical.
The design was therefore changed to place the flood water canal through the centre of Trichy Road. The drainage design was revised to IRC standards in accordance with National Highways Department guidance. The additional funding covers completion of the remaining canal and restoration of the National Highways Department road damaged for the drainage work.
