CHENNAI: Giving a renewed push to the restoration of the Noyyal river, the Coimbatore Corporation has submitted a detailed project report (DPR) to the state government seeking Rs 102 crore for developing a 4.3-km stretch of the riverfront from Nanjundapuram to Athupalam.

The proposal is part of the state government’s initiative to rejuvenate urban riverfronts, for which Rs 400 crore was earmarked in the current fiscal for five districts, including Coimbatore.

The ambitious project aims to combine ecological restoration with public recreation, making the riverfront a green and accessible urban space.

It is a joint effort of the state government and the Coimbatore Corporation, with Tamil Nadu Urban Infrastructure Financial Services Limited (TNUIFSL) designated as the funding agency.
