Coimbatore: The Coimbatore Corporation, in collaboration with private companies, continues to bring joy to the city's residents through its weekly 'Happy Street' programme. This Sunday, the event was held at Saibaba Colony NSR Road, attracting participants of all ages and abilities.
The 'Happy Street' initiative, which typically takes place at R S Puram and Race Course areas, aims to provide a vibrant community space for residents to engage in various activities. This week's event at Saibaba Colony saw an impressive turnout, with people from across Coimbatore's metropolitan areas joining in the festivities.
