Govt. Agriculture Engineering Workshop being restored
Close to the Metro station in Washermenpet is a historical treasure not many know — the Government Agriculture Engineering Workshop started by the British in 1919.
Buildings and machinery in this spacious area were left to ruin after the workshop stopped production. After Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami made a
suo motu statement announcing its restoration last year, the Horticulture Department has transformed it into a Heritage Garden to provide space for recreational and physical activities for the people and children of north Chennai. The cost of the project cost is estimated to be ₹5 crore.
