A total of 32 resolutions were passed at the Vellore Zonal meeting
held at the third zonal office of the Vellore Corporation, on Monday.
Vellore
zonal president and councillor of ward-32 S Kumar chaired the meeting.
Mayor P Karthiyayini participated in the meet as a special invitee,
while deputy mayor, also a councillor of the zone-3 took part in the
meeting.
Most of the councillors demanded steps to increase the
frequency of the water supply in their area. At present, water was being
supplied only once in 10 days. Responding to the demand, engineer E
Devakumar said, tenders had been floated to choose contractors for every
five wards to supply water by tractor.
The initiative was taken
after repeated complaints were received from the councillors that a
single contractor could not supply water for an entire zone.
Devakumar
said, the contract for every five wards system will make the water
supply effective and there would be less chances of streets being
missed out, without water supply.
Councillor of ward-44 G Shanmugham demanded steps to monitor theft of water, especially during the summer.
