Coimbatore, July 18 The Tamil Nadu Government has set up a a nine- member committee under theChief Secretary, Mr L.K. Tripathy to supervise the infrastructure development for IT parks in tier II cities in the state.

The Secretary, IT, Mr.C.Chandramouli would be the convener and Mr C. Umashankar, MD, ELCOT, would be its member secretary.

The Tamil Nadu Government has already sanctioned Rs 30 crore for the provision of infrastructure in these IT parks.

An order issued by the IT Department said that the ELCOT Managing Director had brought to the attention of the Government that the sites chosen for IT parks in Madurai, Tirunelveli, Salem, Tiruchi and Coimbatore were located outside the city or in the periphery. Most of them do not have roads, power , water and telephone.

If the IT parks were to be commissioned soon, the formation of a committee would help in the supervision of the infrastructure development.

The Government had already sanctioned Rs 30 crore for infrastructure within these IT Parks through Assistance to States for Infrastructure Development for Exports.

The IT parks in Tier-II cities required decent access roads from the nearby township area and also nearby habitations.

Plan for providing adequate water supply to the IT park area was to be made.

The capacity of the power sub-station has to be increased to provide adequate and quality power supply. The Government has accepted the proposal of MD, ELCOT.
