Kamarajar Grand Library Construction Delayed; Book Procurement Order Cancelled
Construction of the 290-crore Kamarajar Grand Library in Tiruchi, initially set for completion in September 2026, has been delayed to March 2027 due to election-related work stoppages. Most civil work is complete, with interior and external finishing ongoing. Meanwhile, the procurement order for books, valued at about 30 crore, has been cancelled following concerns over irregularities in a related project. Publishers have been asked to retrieve their book submissions currently stored at the District Central Library.
