A close finish on the cards here
The Hindu
A constituency at the cusp of change
A constituency, popularly known as Chettinad town and famous for its heritage style bungalows, ancient temples and dishes is now grappling with an issue that has thrown haywire the daily lives of the people here. A scheme to lay underground drainage facility in Karaikudi Municipal limits was welcomed by the tax paying citizens about five years ago. However, the undue delay has irked the residents so much that a majority of them are fed up with the authorities and elected representatives. A number of voters in the constituency, with whom The Hindu spoke, expressed their concern. They pointed out that the UGD works should have been completed two years ago. Lack of accountability and official lethargy coupled with problems from contractors had dragged the works.More Related News
