Tender Process Paused for Coimbatore Race‑Course Road Project, Minister Explains

The Revenue Minister addressed queries about the stalled Coimbatore Race‑Course Road development, revealing that the tendering stage was stopped because of unresolved issues related to the approval of extra funds. While the additional budget has been sanctioned, procedural bottlenecks have delayed the release.

Sengottayan assured that the government will not compromise on statutory regulations. He reiterated that any public infrastructure venture will move forward only after all financial and legal prerequisites are satisfied.

The minister also pointed out that the upcoming local body elections do not require an expedited timeline; the statutory deadline remains April next year, providing ample time for proper electoral preparations.
