Save the temple

Save the temple

Since our childhood days, even during substantial rainy and cyclone seasons, we’ve never heard of  waterlogging in Ramanathaswamy Temple in Rameswaram. Thanks to our ancestors who had a well-defined geographical and practical knowledge of the Island, they could protect the shrine from  natural calamity. Now even after a small rain, the world famous temple is in the news for all the wrong reasons - all due to erroneous planning and improper execution of town planning. The design and method of construction of the temple used to attract and put the native and foreign architects and designers in a state of wonder. These things have become a thing of the past. It is high time the authorities redesigned the road infrastructure in  Rameswaram town, especially around the temple, to preserve the glorious past.

Protect the Vaigai

The Paramakudi municipality lets the sewage into Vaigai river.  Near the Vaigai bridge and on the southernside side of service road, the civic body dumps the garbage despite the presence of a dumpyard near Urapuli village. Let these activities be stopped henceforth so as to protect the river.
