Draining of storm water planned
| During a meeting with hoteliers and restaurant owners |
PUDUKOTTAI: With a view to ensuring flow of storm water through the drainage channels in major towns, the district administration has drafted a plan. A. Suganthi, District Collector, held a meeting with hoteliers and restaurant owners and sought their cooperation for garbage management.
The Municipality would take all steps for immediate clearing of garbage at thoroughfares and other important junctions where storm water drains are located.
She said that the hoteliers and restaurants discharging huge volume of garbage, should take up the responsibility of segregating it bio-degradable and non-degradable ones, before handing over it to the Municipal sanitary workers. The Municipality would initiate action including imposing a fine or cancelling license to the hoteliers, depending upon the nature and gravity of defiance of the above norms.
M.S. Muthusamy, Superintendent of Police; G.S. Ramadasu, District Revenue Officer were among those who were present.
