The AIADMK Councillors headed by Mayor Rajan Chellappa passed
resolutions for tax reassessment for the commercial establishments owned
by M K Alagiri and his family members in the city. 

A seven point
resolution was passed in a meeting of AIADMK Councillors headed by
Mayor V V Rajan Chellappa which was held in the Corporation here on
Friday.

According to the resolution, Dhaya marriage hall spread
over 7000 sq. ft. in TVS Nagar which was constructed during the DMK
regime was so far charged with property tax of just Rs 7000 which is
less than what it actually pay. The Councillors through a resolution
urged for tax reassessment of the marriage hall.

Besides, another
resolution also urged to change the 120 feet road in Surveyor colony to
‘A’ Section road for better tax collection which is now considered ‘D’
Section. The road accommodates several commercial establishments
including Dhaya Park owned by family members of M K Alagiri. 

The
councillors also passed resolution countering the former Union Minister M
K Alagiri that Vaigai water supply scheme was introduced by the DMK.

“The
Vaigai water supply scheme was initiated during the AIADMK regime when
its founder M G Ramachandran was in power. Alagiri or the DMK must not
have their claim on establishing the scheme.” Moreover, the second
Vaigai water supply scheme was also initiated when J Jayalalithaa was
chief minister, said the resolution.

“The
Alagiri didn’t facilitate the construction of 13 toilets across Madurai
city through central, state or MP fund, rather he it was constructed
with the sponsors from private companies. And these companies were
allowed to advertise in those toilets and the lavatory in the Government
Rajaji Hospital was advertised by Gandhi Silks owned by Alagiri and
family,” said the resolution.

After the AIADMK assumed power, the
private companies stopped maintaining the toilets after Alagiri
instigated them. As the toilets were in poor condition due to lack of
maintenance, we have involved self help groups and differently abled to
maintain them as per the directions of Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa,
said the resolution.

The meeting also passed resolution thanking
Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa for announcing the construction of four
bridges in the city including two over Vaigai River. The Mayor ensured
that several developmental schemes would be initiated in Madurai city by
getting funds from the union government in the upcoming days.
