Travails near road junction in Sivakasi

The three-road junction connecting Sivakasi West Car Street, North Car Street and S.H.N. School road is very narrow. Traffic congestion on the road has become a common feature. Traders park their two-wheelers in a haphazard way. A few park their vehicle under the electric transformer, posing danger to them and others. Besides posting a police personnel to regulate vehicular traffic, the transformer should be fenced.

Drainage facility

Drainage facility is essential for towns and cities. It reduces mosquito menace. The authorities should ensure that this essential civic facility is in place in pilgrim centres such as Palani.

Plight of appraisers

Appraisers play a key role in augmenting the income of the institutions. Banks depend on them for promoting jewel loans among their customers. However, many appraisers are poor since they get a paltry sum as commission and do not get any regular remuneration like the bank staff. They do not enjoy any insurance or retirement benefits. The Government should take measures for absorbing them as regular staff.

Rameswaram left out

The Railway Minister has announced five new trains for Tamil Nadu in his interim budget. However, no new train has been announced for Rameswaram, one of an important pilgrimage centres in India.

Besides, trains announced in the last budget have not been introduced yet.

I appeal to the railways to extend the proposed Tiruchi-Madurai Express to Rameswaram.
