Dindigul
By Our Staff Reporter
DINDIGUL, JULY 27. Work on the underground drainage project in Dindigul town will begin next month, the municipal chairman, M. Basheer Ahmad, said today. Addressing a meeting of the municipal council held here, he said people would contribute 10 per cent of the total cost of Rs. 51. 80 crores. Pipelines to a length of 188.5 km would be laid, and 2.5 km on the National Highways. Sewage collection sumps would be constructed at Paraipatti, Seelapadi and Nagal Nagar. The annual maintenance cost was put at Rs.50 lakhs. Tenders would be floated soon. He appealed to the councillors not to recommend any fresh drainage and road works. Mr. Basheer Ahmad said the municipality would not take back 4,124 square feet of land it had offered to the Department of Libraries for constructing a building for the district library, as the Government sanctioned Rs. 40 lakhs for the construction. The municipality offered the land near the Kamarajar central bus stand in 2002. He was responding to a resolution tabled by the councillor, Jothi Ramalingam. A flower market would be set up near Spenser's Compound, as the thatched sheds behind the central bus stand where the market functioned, were removed as instructed by the Collector. The councillor, Iyyathurai, alleged that the municipality had settled bills to a contractor, who did not complete the work properly, and urged the chairman to cancel the new works allotted to him. Reacting to the charge made by the councillor, Thirumaran, that the keys of a pumping motor room constructed with the money allotted from the MLA Constituency Development Fund were in the CPI(M) office, the Chairman said all buildings and schemes should be maintained by the municipality only.
