Tuticorin: Nod for strengthening road infrastructure was given at the urgent corporation council meeting convened here on Monday. During the meeting, Mayor R. Kasthuri Thangam, who presided over, gave her nod for the project to strengthen roads in the underground drainage pipeline laying work site at an estimated cost of Rs. 12 crore. Work on as many as 37 main roads over a stretch of about 35 km would be taken up.
Meanwhile D. Raja (CPI-M), 46th ward councillor, raised the issue of scanty supply of drinking water to the residents. “The drinking water supply has been curtailed for now. The residents are able to get drinking water once in four days a week. Previously, the supply was maintained once in three days,” the Mayor said adding that adequate storage of water was available and it was due to load shedding that there were some problems. But the problem would be sorted out soon, she assured.
Deputy Mayor Thommai Yesuadiyan, Commissioner of Corporation P. Kubendran were present.
However, the AIADMK councillors abstained from attending the meeting. Speaking to reporters outside the council hall, the AIADMK councillors alleged that the demands represented by them during the corporation meeting were not taken into consideration.
