Municipal chief promises action against corruption
Says every effort will be made to beautify Karimnagar.
Karimnagar Municipal Corporation Commissioner M. Vanaja
Devi has said that the district administration would take all measures
for the development and beautification of municipal parks.
Speaking
at a Face-to-Face programme organised by the Lok Satta district unit
and Karimnagar Consumers’ Council here on Sunday, she said that she
would not tolerate encroachment of municipal parks by anyone and take
stern action against land-grabbers.
The Municipal
Commissioner said that she would check corruption in the Corporation and
implement the Citizens Charter effectively. Expressing concern over the
damage caused to the roads in the town, she said that she would soon
convene a meeting with the contractor who was executing the underground
drainage works.
She said that she would also convene a
meeting with the builders and owners of various apartments and take
corrective measures following several irregularities in the construction
and maintenance of apartments in the town.
She said
that they would take measures for the plantation of more trees and
eradicate the use of plastics. She also said that she would accord
priority for the sanitation.
During the programme,
she was flooded with several complaints such as encroachment of roads by
small-time vendors, auto-wallahs and other traders, use of motor pumps
by residents to draw more drinking water from taps, maintenance of
street lights, etc.
The residents also appealed to her to stop plying of tractors during the morning hours in the town as they caused accidents.
She was also requested to impose tax on vinyl posters in the town.
Lok
Satta district president N. Srinivas, general secretary T. Rajamouli,
Karimnagar Consumers Council leaders Prakash Holla, R. Chandra
Prabhakar, Apartments Welfare Association leader Kumara Swamy, retired
