Trade and Industry Hail Budget Announcements

The Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Coimbatore, has welcomed the announcement in the interim budget that efforts will be taken to implement the Athikadavu-Avinashi scheme as an irrigation, groundwater recharge and drinking water scheme.

“On behalf of the people of this region we thank the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for this,” chamber president D. Nandakumar has said.
