Thoothukudi installs green shade shelters at traffic signals

Thoothukudi Municipal Corporation has installed green shade shelters at key traffic signals to help motorists cope with rising summer temperatures. This initiative follows last year's similar installations across Tamil Nadu and aims to provide comfort during long waits at signals. The shelters, made of green mesh and supported by wooden poles, have been placed at VVD junction and Polpettai signal. Local commuters have welcomed the addition, noting the relief it offers during hot afternoons. In addition to the shelters, the Corporation is enhancing public health measures. Drinking water facilities are being expanded, and 200 health workers have been deployed to address seasonal diseases.
