Revitalized Navalur Lake: A Green Oasis in Siruseri IT Park

Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister M K Stalin inaugurated a new environmental park at the Siruseri IT Park. The project revitalized the 33.43-acre Navalur lake, introducing sustainable infrastructure and public amenities. It aims to support the ecosystem and enhance the area’s aesthetic and functional value.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Monday inaugurated a groundbreaking environmental park within the Siruseri IT Park complex, spearheaded by SIPCOT. Located in Chengalpattu district, the project involved a Rs 30 crore investment aimed at transforming the previously neglected 33.43-acre Navalur lake.

The extensive restoration included desilting and strengthening lake embankments to ensure the long-term environmental sustainability of the IT hub and its surrounding areas. Additionally, new green infrastructure was introduced, featuring walking and cycling tracks, an environmental knowledge centre, and a bird-watching point. The facility also boasts an open-air theatre, outdoor gym, and a sewage treatment plant to enhance groundwater recharge.

This strategic development not only serves IT employees and the public but also bolsters the area's aesthetic appeal. The inauguration was attended by key officials, including MSME Minister T M Anbarasan and Chief Secretary N Muruganandam.
