CPI seeks renovation of sub-jail

KARUR: The Communist Party of India (CPI) Karur district Committee has urged the State Government and the police department to renovate and refurbish the sub-jail here.

A resolution passed at the district committee meeting held here recently noted that the sub-jail was used to intern remand prisoners and hence should be kept clean and tidy. Further there were hardly any facilities for modern upkeep of the prisoners.

The sub-jail needed urgent modernisation, the resolution said. Another resolution called for an exclusive train service between Karur and Chennai to meet the demands of the traders, public and others from Karur district.

Limited trains

The very limited train services between Karur and Chennai did not serve the purpose as the public were finding it difficult to get accommodation in the existing pair of trains.

Deploring the sanitary condition at the Government Hospital here the CPI district committee wanted the hospital maintained properly and also urged the district administration to stop officials there from collecting money from the patients at the labour ward.

Another resolution called upon the police and the district administration to ensure that the errant drivers do not park their sand laden lorries on the roadside in Puliyur area and elsewhere hindering free flow of vehicular traffic on the Tiruchi-Karur National Highway 67.

Through another resolution the CPI district committee wanted the district administration to maintain the bus stand properly and desist from any move to shift the bus stand to any other location.

Encroachments clogging the bus stand should be removed immediately and also care must be taken to prevent recurrence of encroachments there.

Puthambur Panchayat president R. Sivashanmugam presided over the district committee meeting in which party district secretary K.K. Periyasamy, State Committee member M. Rathinam, district deputy secretaries M. Seshan and K.A. Mahboob and treasurer R. Rajendran participated among others.
