Mr. Selvaraj had already served as commissioner in Erode, Vellore, Tiruchy and Tirupur corporations before moving to Salem. He succeeds M. Ashokan, who was transferred and posted as Commissioner of Tirupur Municipal Corporation. After assuming office, he called on Mayor S. Soundappan and Deputy Mayor M. Natesan. He held meeting with senior officials and discussed the status of projects implemented and challenging issues. With the waste treatment plant in Chettichavadi non-functional, a huge task lie before the corporation to dispose the 280 metric tonne garbage everyday.
