Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin inaugurated civic infrastructure projects and welfare initiatives worth over Rs 45 crore in his Kolathur Assembly constituency. The projects, executed by various authorities, aim to enhance public facilities and strengthen civic infrastructure for residents. Notable highlights include the upgraded Murasoli Maran Park and the Kalaignar Centenary Coin Memorial on Perambur High Road.

Additionally, a modern library and ‘Mudhalvar Padaippagam’ facility in Jawahar Nagar, constructed at a cost of Rs 4.75 crore, were inaugurated to support students with competitive exam preparations.
In a significant addition to the constituency, the Chief Minister opened the Kolathur Modern Market complex on Paper Mills Road, costing Rs 9.30 crore. This multi-storey market accommodates 74 commercial shops, parking facilities, lifts, and modern amenities to boost local business activities. Furthermore, a new school building, a women’s gymnasium, and a multi-purpose center with fair-price ration shops were inaugurated to enhance education and community services.
