Tamil Nadu CM Vijay Inaugurates Periyar Arivulagam Knowledge Centre in Coimbatore
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay inaugurated the Rs 300-crore Periyar Arivulagam, a library and science centre in Coimbatore, featuring facilities like a digital library, planetarium, and science centres. The project, initiated by the previous DMK government, was marked by a roadshow with large crowds and heightened security, including police barricades and drone restrictions. Vijay unveiled a statue of social reformer Periyar and planned to attend a Navaratri event in Kerala, though bad weather canceled his helicopter trip. DMK leader M.K. Stalin emphasized the party's role in conceptualizing the project.
