Improving facilities: Construction of storm water drains on Veeranam Main Road is progressing steadily. —

SALEM: Construction of new storm water drains and repair works in a portion of the Veeranam Main Road in Ward 10 is progressing steadily.

The Salem Corporation had taken up the work as the road lacked storm water drains for long.

The road also remained in a bad condition.

People in the ward had made repeated representations to the civic body to carry out road repairs.

As a result, the civic administration allotted a sum of Rs. 90 lakh for the construction of drains and road repairs.

Drains are being constructed on both sides of the road to a length of about one kilometre.

Officials said that the civic body had completed about 25 percent of the works already.

The remaining works were expected to be completed within three months.

Meanwhile, people in the area had appealed to the Corporation to initiate measures to prevent the encroachments on the roadsides.

Chamber hails release of property tax data

Staff Reporter

MADURAI: The Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry has welcomed the release of data related to property tax on the Internet.

Chamber’s senior president S. Rethinavelu welcomed the move to post door number-wise details of property tax for buildings along their street names in Madurai by the Corporation. In a press release, he said that this move would greatly increase transparency.

Pointing out to earlier complaints of buildings not being assessed for under-assessed for property tax, he said that this move provided an opportunity for the public to bring to the notice of the civic body the buildings that had escaped assessments.

Lauding the Corporation for this proactive step, he said that this would ensure more revenue by orderly and unbiased levying of property tax.

Mr. Rethinavelu also reiterated the Chamber’s demand to Corporation “to remove the disparity in the steep increase in property tax opted by the body since April, 2008 and to reduce the hike to a reasonable level and thus streamline the system.”
