`Maintain proper sanitation'

By Our Staff Reporter

MADURAI, SEPT. 13. The Collector, D. Raajendiran, urged all panchayat presidents in the district to emulate A. Thottiyapatti village, which has been adjudged the best village and awarded Rs. 5 lakhs, for improving their areas on all fronts.

Speaking at a grievance day function at Rajakoor, near here, he said other villages should take steps to maintain sanitation.

Distributing welfare assistance to the tune of Rs. 2 lakhs, he said 227 petitions were received at Rajakoor, and 195 petitioners were granted assistance. Fifteen petitions were under consideration, and would be cleared in a week. Seventeen others were rejected for want of proper documents. Development works, at a cost of Rs. 6 lakhs, were carried out at Rajakoor during 2003-04, and works costing Rs. 2 lakhs would be launched in 2004-05, he said.
