CHENNAI: Deputy Chief Minister M K Stalin will visit Singapore to study the possibilities of restoring the highly polluted Cooum River.
The Deputy chief Minister and his entourage will leave for Singapore on Sunday evening.
Singapore has been selected after a series of discussions were held on the restoration of the polluted rivers.
Two locations including Texas have been identified for the study. But experts felt the Texas model could not be implemented to clean the river.
A badly polluted river in Singapore was cleaned by the local administration and the river has now become a tourist destination.
During his visit, Stalin is expected to meet several officials involved in the river’s restoration, besides Singapore’s Industries and Commerce minister.
The team will return next Friday.
