Accordingly, the 15th Corporation of the State of Tamil Nadu, Avadi, is now born.

The local residents are hugely delighted and celebrating a special occasion!

The plan to set up Tambaram and Avadi as corporations were mooted during the DMK governance period.  This was in order to reduce the severe traffic congestions in the Chennai Metro City. Originally, it was thought to link them with Chennai Corporation. However, this got delayed. Only in this situation, the present AIADMK government has announced to form Avadi corporation.

Avadi Corporation will be one of the dense industrial sectors in its locality. The area is around 148 sq km. However, the population is somewhat less it has 6.12 Lakhs residents. It is gathered that 90 to 100 corporation wards may be set up in the new Avadi Corporation.
