New power substation to come up in Mallasamudram block

NAMAKKAL: A new power substation would be established in Mallasamudram block to ensure better reliability and voltage levels to consumers, Deputy Speaker of Assembly V.P. Duraisamy said.

Participating at a function organised to distribute free colour televisions in the block near here recently, he said officials had already taken up steps to identity suitable land for the establishment of the new substation.

He also promised that efforts would be made to establish a new primary health centre in Ramapuram village this year, enabling the people in the area to access quality health care. The Government was also constructing 11 check dams across the Tirumanimutharu River for effective water management and to improve ground water level, he added.

Mr. Duraisamy further said that the Government distributed over 1.13 lakh free colour televisions to eligible families in Namakkal district till date. The district administration received over 15,500 television sets for distribution in the first quarter of the current fiscal. Of them, 5,432 television sets were distributed so far.

The remaining would be given to the beneficiaries within the end of this month.

He appreciated the officials in the education department, school managements, teachers and students in the district for registering 91.6 per cent of pass in the higher secondary examination.

The Deputy Speaker said that the Government had taken up a number of welfare programmes to enhance the quality of life of people, particularly those living below the poverty line.

Distributing 1,300 colour television sets to people in Koothanatham and Ramapuram panchayats, he said the administration was carrying out development works to the tune of Rs. 56.5 lakh in the two villages. Senior officials were present in the meeting.
