Govt. exhibition draws crowd to Tamukkam Ground

MADURAI

Seems like most Maduraiites had a common to-do list this Sunday and that was to go have fun at the Tamukkam ground and explore the annual Government Exhibition - 2022.

Scores of parents with infants and toddlers, teenagers and their friends, and groups of families trickled in after sunset, making the ground an entertainment hotspot in the city.

N.B. Laya Sruthi with her sister said that this was the first time they have visited the exhibition without their parents, and this was their big outing after the COVID-19 pandemic struck.

While Kavi. Thamizh from Thathaneri said that he missed the Chithirai exhibition during the festival, especially eating the popular ‘Delhi’ appalam.

“Usually, the Tamukkam ground exhibition sets the tone during the Chithirai festival. Nevertheless, this is a big relief entertainment-wise for Maduraiites,” he said.

The exhibition houses 28 government-run stalls displaying various schemes through innovative models, food stalls offering delicious street foods, a good old Ferris wheel and fun rides, something for everyone in a family.

While exploring the colourful charts of the stall set up by the Department of Education, playing snake and ladder of dos and don’ts by citizens at the Madurai Corporation’s stall, and models of different houses at the stall erected by Tamil Nadu Water and Drainage Board etc, children gobbled on ice-creams and cotton candies.
