HOSUR: In order to accelerate the pace of development in Hosur city, the Government of Tamil Nadu has formed a separate urban development authority for the city. The development body will be akin to the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority. The state government had proposed to constitute separate urban development authorities for the cities of Coimbatore, Tirupur, Madurai and Hosur in the Budget of 2021-22.
The state government orders for constituting the authority for Coimbatore, Tirupur and Madurai were issued in November and December. The same was issued for Hosur on Thursday, January 6.
Hosur is a 190.20-square-kilometer city on the banks of the Ponnaiyar River. It has experienced considerable growth in recent decades as a result of many corporations establishing offices here. However, the city’s population growth resulted in haphazard development in areas such as education, health, drainage, drinking water distribution, and roadways, causing inhabitants inconvenience.
A 14-member committee has been constituted to guide the urban development authority, with the principal secretary of Housing and Urban Development Department as Chairman and the Hosur collector as Vice-Chairman. The authority would create development blueprints and work with government-approved initiatives and projects.
