TEA thanks Naidu for selecting Tirupur for Smart City Mission

Tirupur Exporters Association (TEA) today thanked Union Urban Development and Housing minister, M Venkaiah Naidu for selecting Tirupur under the Smart City Mission.

This will go a long way in the development of infrastructure in the happening city, Tirupur and give impetus to its vibrancy, TEA president, Raja M Shanmugham said, in a statement.

Tirupur has achieved an export turnover of Rs 25,000 crore and Domestic turnover of Rs 12,000 crore in 2016 17 and all these achievements have been made without having much infrastructure, mainly needed for a city to have this feat, Raja Shunmugham said.

Stating that the exporters have set a target of reaching Rs one lakh crore business by 2020, he said that the development of better infrastructure in Tirupur city through Smart City Mission will also help reach our target.

Roads and construction of bridges including bridges over Noyyal River have to be given utmost priority to smoothen the traffic movement.

The population of Tirupur city has exceeded One Million and is growing continuously, thanks to the influx of migrants labourers, who need better housing facilities, labour quarters including amenities like water and road facilities, he said.
