Madurai IT Park progress - July 22nd 2010

Just couple of days back, Information Minister Poongothai mentioned that most of the work for IT park of Madurai is completed and it is expected for the completion of the project and Madurai IT Park will be ready by third week of September 2010.

However, as per today's news - it is heard that there is too much lag in the progress of Madurai IT park project. Electricity, water facility, chilling facility etc., are not yet done. Overall, it looks like only 30% of the work is done, though it was mentioned that 70% was done.

While Trichy, Coimbatore's IT Park is ready or almost ready to be used by Software companies, Madurai IT park is suffering this much and it is not getting completed! Why is that so?

Also - slowly software companies are reconsidering and renegotiating for their settlement in Madurai.

If we don't facilitate proper infrastructure and IT buildings/campus for the companies, it would be difficult for us to get started with IT park in Madurai.

The budget is allocated, private enterprises are engaged for building the IT park and why it is delayed for launching IT park in Madurai. What is the reason IT park in Madurai is being talking past 2 years, but the project is not completed at all, even though the deadlines are crossed so many times.
