Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami had earlier announced a plan to construct a new regulator nearby and sanctioned Rs 410 crore for the project.

Subsequently, he set up an expert committee, which included representatives of a private construction firm. The PWD officials had made a blue print of the proposed regulator based on feedback given by a team of engineers from the committee.

On Saturday, a team of professors from the department of civil engineering, IIT Madras, led by A Boominathan, visited the spot and inspected the temporary structure.

The academics informed the media that they would examine the blue print in a detailed manner and make alterations if it was needed based on the geographical condition and the soil quality at the proposed spot.
