Amma canteens and Eco Park in Madurai get ISO certification
Four ‘Amma’ canteens in the city have been awarded ISO
9001:2008 Certification by the International Organization for
Standardization.
Apart from the Amma canteens, three
other public places, including Corporation Eco Park, in the Corporation
area too have been certified.
Addressing media
persons here on Friday, Mayor V.V. Rajan Chellappa said the Amma
canteens at K. Pudur, Sandhaipettai, Tirupparankundram and Melavasal had
got ISO certification.
The Corporation would take
efforts to ensure that the seven other ‘Amma’ canteens functioning in
the city too continued to serve quality food to the public.
“The
certifications say a lot about how well we have been maintaining the
canteens, and it is an honour for the entire district,” he said.
There are eleven Amma canteens in the city, including the one declared open at Government Rajaji Hospital this week.
Mr.Chellappa
said three public places in the city too had been certified by the
international organisation. “The Corporation Swimming pool on
Dr.Thangaraj Salai received ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004
certifications for maintaining hygiene and cleanliness,” he added.
The
Corporation Eco Park had bagged ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004
certifications for being a popular and well-maintained place for public
recreation, and Mattuthavani Integrated Bus Stand received ISO 9001:2008
certification for having superior infrastructure, he noted.
“The
Corporation is planning to complete all the development works in
different wards as soon as possible,” The Mayor said, and released a
booklet detailing the ongoing and future projects of the Corporation and
the budget for them. Hospitals would be constructed at Anupanadi and
Pudur, a public grievance office would be built at Simmakkal, and
Corporation officials would have zone-wise offices soon, he added.
