Thuraiyur municipal office ready for inauguration

Work on the construction of a new building for the Thuraiyur municipal office on Perambalur Road has been completed at an estimate of Rs. 3 crore. The work which commenced on April 2013 under the Operation and Maintenance Gap Filling Fund scheme has been completed well ahead of schedule.

The new building has a plinth area of 7,762 sq. feet on each floor and has ground plus two floors. The new building will have all basic amenities for members of the public and municipal officials. The ground floor will have tax-collection unit, birth and death certificate issuing unit, and the municipal engineers office. The chairmans chamber and the council hall will come up on the first floor, which will also have an office room for the commissioner.

The present building of the municipal office, though located near the bus stand in the heart of the town, is too cramped, say sources. The building too has been ill-designed. Accumulation of tyres and tubes seized as part of the anti-dengue drive across the town has been adding to the buildings woes, the sources said. The new building will be inaugurated after the lifting of the model code of conduct currently in force in the district.
