The Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has circulated a tender to hire specialists in horticulture and landscape to decorate the medians and provide a green remodeling to the first phase of the metro’s extension corridor in northern part of the city.
“Plants such as ficus, palm cycas are being considered. Light-loving and shade-loving plant species are being proposed too,” officials were quoted by the New Indian Express. The phase-1 corridor is 9 km long with an elevation of 6.6 km whereas it goes 2.4 km to the underground.
The officials will examine this project and possibly expand the plan to other medians too. They are also pondering upon the possibility of incorporating vertical gardens as the construction of the project nears its completion.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
