Trichy city residents received a pleasant surprise as the Trichy-Pudukottai national highway underwent a makeover ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit. The Trichy International Airport, situated along the highway, saw the addition of heritage-style streetlights and colorful tree guards, enhancing the aesthetics of the road.

A swift response to the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Trichy resulted in the installation of heritage-style streetlights along a 2 km stretch of the highway connecting the airport to Thiruvalarchipatti.
The delay in installing these lights was overcome, and the road’s dim-lit condition was permanently addressed.

The area also saw the installation of colorful wooden tree guards for newly planted tree saplings.
