Move to beautify Ukkadam Periyakulam with scrap installations draws mixed reactions

The Hindu  

The art installations made of scrap materials to be displayed at the Periyakulam in Ukkadam under the Coimbatore Smart City Mission are nearing completion and are expected to be open to the public this week. According to the Coimbatore Corporation, several models including a life-size modular car, a 13-feet gramophone, old telephone models and a hand pump, were made using spare parts of abandoned vehicles, electronic waste, discarded furniture, etc., all said to be recycled from landfills in the city. The works began on April 10 as part of the ‘Ezhilmigu Kovai’ programme to serve as a new selfie point and the works will be completed by May 4, an official said. R. Manikandan, founder of the non-governmental organisation ‘Kovai Kulangal Padhukappu Amaippu’, said this would inspire young minds visiting the spot that anything, even waste, can be turned into craft.
