Koraiyar Falls likely to get basic amenities

Tourism officials seek proposal from Forest Department

Heeding to a plea from an activist, the Tourism Department has requested the Forest Department to send a proposal for providing necessary basic amenities at the Koraiyar Falls, a little known picnic spot on the Pachamalai Hills in Tiruchi district.

The department had conveyed this information in response to a petition from Saravanan Natesan, an activist, seeking basic amenities at the falls including safety barricades.

“We have requested a proposal with estimates for providing basic amenities such as barricades and changing room. Once the proposal is received, we will take it up with the recommendation of the District Collector. We will consider the proposal depending on the availability of funds for year,” T.Jegatheeswari, Tourist Officer, Tiruchi, said in reply to the petition.
