For people of the city eagerly anticipating the launch of the first stretch of Metro Rail’s Phase II network, it could possibly be one of the first projects to be inaugurated by the new government that will assume office.
As actor-politician C. Joseph Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) secured the most number of seats this election and is making efforts to form the government, this key urban infrastructure project is likely to be inaugurated in the coming weeks.
