Tamil Nadu Chief Minister E K Palaniswami on Tuesday held a series of meetings with union ministers and discussed various state-specific projects.
In his maiden meetings with the union ministers after taking charge as Chief Minister, Palaniswami sought solutions to various projects that have been stalled, besides other new projects.
He discussed second phase of Metro, slum development and other welfare programmes with Union Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu.
"Second phase of Metro, housing, people affected by floods in 2015, slum development and issues related to Smart and AMRUT cities were some of the requests that were made before me," Venkaiah Naidu told reporters here.
Palaniswami also met Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari and held talks on Port-Maduravoyal project, Madurai Inner Ring Road and four-lane ECR project.
"Apart from other issues we have requested the ministry to undertake around 700 kilometres of the state roads under National Highways department," said Palaniswami.
