By Our Staff Reporter

Thanjavur Jan. 31. The budget for Thanjavur municipality for 2004-2005 presented at the municipal council meeting here on Friday showed a deficit of Rs.10.11 crores.

While the revenues have been estimated to be Rs.39.43 crores, expenditure has been put at

Rs.49.54 crores.

The meeting, presided over by K.Sultan, Chairman, decided to send proposals to the Government for laying concrete road in the new bus stand at a cost of Rs.2.85 crores, laying concrete road in the old bus stand at a cost of Rs.30 lakhs and laying pavement between the old bus stand and the town bus stand at a cost of Rs.80 lakhs.

It has also been decided to collect Rs.2 as entrance fee for the Sivaganga park, hike fee for cycle parking in the park from Re. 1 to Rs.2, hike fee for scooter parking from Rs.2 to Rs. 3, hike fees for using cameras from Rs.5 to Rs.10 and for video cameras from Rs.20 to Rs.25.

Jayabal, councillor, objected to the way a private hotel was sealed by the municipal health officer for want of hygiene. He wanted to know whether prior notice was given to the hotel owner. He objected to throwing all food items and essential commodities outside the hotel before sealing it.

Mr. Sultan said he did not know on what ground the action had been taken and asked whether the Municipal Health Officer had informed the Municipal Commissioner, Mannar.

The Health Officer said he had taken action, on a suggestion made by the Collector, S. Kosalaraman. He had got permission from the Municipal Commissioner.

The Chairman said the Collector should not be dragged into the controversy.

The Commissioner said he had given permission to the Health Officer to take action against the hotel as it was found wanting in hygiene. Now the hotel has been permitted to set right the deficiencies.
