SIDCO told to take up infra works at Kurichi industrial estate

Minister for MSMEs P. Mathan Raja and Minister for Excise K. Vignesh inspected the infrastructure facilities at the SIDCO Industrial estate at Kurichi on Tuesday and instructed the officials to prepare estimates for re-laying the road and constructing storm water drains.
The two Ministers, who went around the industrial estate on a two-wheeler, also learnt about the infrastructure challenges there. One of the earliest industrial estates in the State, the Kurichi estate spread over 100 acres houses nearly 350 MSME units. The units have been asking for drinking water connection and better roads.
The Minister asked the Small Industries Development Corporation to install streetlights wherever needed as only 50 lights are functioning within the estate. He also asked the officials to prepare estimates for re-laying the road within the estate along with stormwater drains.
N. Mathivanan, president of the Coimbatore SIDCO Industrial Estate Manufacturers’ Welfare Association, said the association members had submitted their demands to the MSME Minister earlier and he visited the estate on Tuesday to review the facilities available.
