4 Sep
Summary
- Rs 50.4 crore project to enhance Amma Mandapam ghats in Srirangam.
- Planned facilities include footpaths, sitting benches, heritage lights, and a river viewpoint.
- A re-tender process is underway for the 2.2-km riverfront stretch in two phases.
Officials from TUFIDCO and TNUIFSL recently inspected the proposed Cauvery riverfront project site in Srirangam, Trichy. This ambitious development, with a budget of Rs 50.4 crore, focuses on creating enhanced supportive and recreational infrastructure at the Amma Mandapam ghats.
The project plans include the installation of footpaths equipped with sitting benches and heritage lights along the riverbank. A dedicated river viewpoint is also a key feature designed to draw visitors. The initiative covers a 2.2-km stretch, which will be executed in two phases.
A re-tender has been floated for this project, as the first tender initiated in June 2026 was cancelled. Bids are currently under review to select a suitable agency for the development. Future plans for the area include walking tracks, a children's play area, greenery, and a watchtower.
Separately, the Trichy district administration and tourism department are exploring a river tourism plan for Srirangam, proposed in the state budget. This distinct plan aims to develop footpaths, a yoga hall, and ornamental plantations along the riverbank, further enhancing the region's tourism appeal.
