Sivakrishnamurthy received 142 petitions seeking old age pension, name transfer for drinking water connection and property tax, building plan approval, copy of building plan, tax fixation, vacant land tax fixation, new drinking water connection and permission to set up Aavin milk parlour.
Of this, 20 petitions – seven for name transfer of drinking water connection, two for name transfer of property tax, three for vacant land tax, five for drinking water connection and three for building plan approval – were cleared immediately.
When the Mayor inspected the overhead tanks near the tax collection centre near the Azhaganeri panchayat union primary school and at Ananthapuram, he instructed the officials to carry out repairs in the water tanks and planted tree saplings near the water tanks.
Executive Engineer L.K. Bhaskar and Assistant Commissioner (In-Charge), Thatchanallur Lenin were present.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
