Councillors flay functioning of health officials
Staff Reporter
Tirupur: Cutting across the party lines, councillors demanded replacement of City Health Officer and his team for their ‘failure’ to implement solid waste management project effectively in the city at the Corporation council meeting held on Tuesday evening.
The elected representatives pointed out that despite their periodic representations to the health officials, primary collection of wastes generated from households, shops and commercial establishments remained lethargic.
“Steps have not been taken by health officials to place adequate waste collection bins, which has resulted in garbage piling up at residential areas and near hospitals,” G. Savithri (Ward 24) of Communist Party of India (Marxist) said.
S. Sivapalan (Ward 10) of MDMK asked Mayor K. Selvaraj to ensure transparency in the functioning of City Health Officer and other sanitary inspectors if the administration wanted to establish pro-people image in the public domain.
P.R. Natarajan of Communist Party of India demanded an inquiry into the incident in which about five tonnes of banned plastic materials of less than 20 microns seized by health officials recently from shops and hotels had gone missing from the Corporations storage point.

He told the Mayor to conduct an impartial investigation into the alleged sale of plastic materials for a sum of Rs. 50,000 by the Corporation health officials.
Mayor K. Selvaraj said that the administration would receive the tenders inviting bidders to execute the infrastructure development project planned at the recently approved layouts in the city at an outlay of Rs. 40 crore on March 24.
