CHENNAI: The Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation is set to establish a state-of-the-art sports complex exclusively for para-athletes. The proposed facility, to be developed on a 2.42-acre site along Jeeva Nagar Road in Ward 45 for Rs 15 crore, aims to provide dedicated infrastructure for para-athletes to train and compete in various disciplines.
According to corporation officials, the civic body had submitted a detailed proposal and design plan to the state government two months ago. The proposal, which included architectural and accessibility features, was reviewed by the state authorities and returned with recommendations for modifications.
The design plan is now being revised in line with the government’s directions and will be resubmitted for approval shortly. Among the key changes made are improvements to the ramp design and other accessibility features to ensure full compliance with national standards for facilities catering to persons with disabilities.
